30. Host-parasite Correlation of Fungal Endophytes Isolated from Beech and Beech Drops

, 2020
Fungal endophytes are well documented in a great number of angiosperms. They are often found to be helpful to plants that are facing environmental stress. They may produce secondary metabolites that provide their host a better stress tolerance.

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Morphological Studies on Some Orobanche L. Species in Egypt

, 2022
Broomrapes are root holoparasites in the family Orobanchaceae. These parasites can cause substantial losses, 5%–95%, in important crops . These plants parasitize legumes, oilseeds, nightshades, and crucifers in warmer areas of Europe, Africa, the ...

Salt‐Induced Stomatal Closure Suppresses Parasitism by Phtheirospermum japonicum

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT In nature, parasitic plants may grow in marginal and stressful environments. However, the effects of concurrent abiotic stress, such as salinity, on parasitism remain underexplored, particularly in facultative root hemiparasites. Here, we examined the effect of salt on the relationship between the parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum and its ...

Development of Parasitic Organs of a Stem Holoparasitic Plant in Genus Cuscuta

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Parasitic plants infect a broad range of plant species including economically important crops. They survive by absorbing water, minerals, and photosynthates from their hosts. To support their way of life, parasitic plants generally establish parasitic organs that allow them to attach to their hosts and to efficiently absorb substances from the vascular

Genome-scale transfer of mitochondrial DNA from legume hosts to the holoparasite Lophophytum mirabile (Balanophoraceae) [PDF]

, 2019
Angiosperm mitochondrial horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been widely reported during the past decades. With a few exceptions, foreign sequences are mitochondrial genes or intronic regions from other plants, indicating that HGT has played a major role ...

Range and Elevational Shifts of Mistletoes Under Future Climate Change Scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Mistletoes are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their obligate dependence on host plants. We investigated how climate change will alter the distribution of suitable habitat of Mesoamerican Psittacanthus mistletoes. Species differences were found in distribution with northward and upward shifts accompanied by significant range size ...

Hydnora abyssinica: Ethnobotanical evidence for its occurrence in southern Mozambique

, 2011
Hydnora spp. are rarely collected root holoparasites due to the subterranean nature of the rhizomes and seasonal emergence of the flowers. Results from a recent study in South African traditional medicine markets positively identified Hydnora abyssinica ...

The effect of Orobanche crenata infection severity in faba bean, field pea, and grass pea productivity.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Broomrape weeds (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are root holoparasites that feed off a wide range of important crops. Among them, Orobanche crenata attacks legumes complicating their inclusion in cropping systems along the Mediterranean area and West ...

The functionality of arbuscular mycorrhizal networks across scales of experimental complexity and ecological relevance

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1384-1399, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract One of the most prevalent symbioses on Earth is that formed between the majority of land plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Through these intimate associations, AM fungi transfer soil nutrients to their plant hosts in exchange for photosynthetically fixed ...
