Genome and Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Parasitic success of the pathogenic plant Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel. (Orobanchaceae) differs in some re‐infected versus naïve tomato cultivars

Weed research (Print)
Plants are exposed to infection and predation by organisms from most kingdoms of life, including their own. Layers of molecular defence mechanisms have evolved to limit damage and disease from microbial and insect pathogens, and plants can also defend ...

The pollination ecology and mouthpart morphology of a pollen‐feeding fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Diptera: Lauxaniidae) in the Australian Alpine

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

An unexpected case of wind pollination: ambophily in an ornithophilous tropical mountaintop Orobanchaceae

Plant Systematics and Evolution
Some plant species have a kind of mixed pollination system—ambophily—which rely both on biotic and abiotic (most commonly wind) as pollen vectors. Ambophily remains poorly addressed in the pollination literature and may have been overlooked because ...

Cryptic Species Diversification of the Pedicularis siphonantha Complex (Orobanchaceae) in the Mountains of Southwest China Since the Pliocene

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Morphological approaches often fail to delimit species in recently derived species complexes. This can be exacerbated in historical collections which may have lost key features in specimen preparation and preservation.

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

Marker Development for Phylogenomics: The Case of Orobanchaceae, a Plant Family with Contrasting Nutritional Modes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Phylogenomic approaches, employing next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, have revolutionized systematic and evolutionary biology. Target enrichment is an efficient and cost-effective method in phylogenomics and is becoming increasingly popular ...

Multiple Glacial Refugia and Complex Postglacial Dynamics of Primula sikkimensis (Primuaceae) in the Heterogeneous Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Primula sikkimensis persisted in distinct glacial refugia within the Hengduan Mountains and eastern Himalayas during the Last Glacial Maximum. Subsequent postglacial range expansions onto the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau were accompanied by secondary contact and interspecific hybridization, collectively enhancing genetic diversity and adaptive capacity. These

Morphological diversity of pistil stigmas and its taxonomic significance of representatives of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae from Central Europe

PhytoKeys, 2022
Abstract The stigma is the terminal part of the carpel which receives pollen during the pollination process. Although the role of the stigmas in pollination is the same for all angiosperms, stigmas structures are very diverse.
