Comparative Metabolomics of Early Development of the Parasitic Plants Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Triphysaria versicolor [PDF]
Metabolites, 2019 Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae attach to the roots of host plants via haustoria capable of drawing nutrients from host vascular tissue. The connection of the haustorium to the host marks a shift in parasite metabolism from autotrophy to at ...

Plant parasitic nematode proteins and the host parasite interaction [PDF]
Briefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics, 2007 This review focuses on the proteins and secretions of sedentary plant parasitic nematodes potentially important for plant-nematode interactions. These nematodes are well equipped for parasitism of plants. Having acquired the ability to manipulate fundamental aspects of plant biology, they are able to hijack host-cell development to make their feeding ...

The origin, deployment, and evolution of a plant-parasitic nematode effectorome.
PLoS PathogensPlant-parasitic nematodes constrain global food security. During parasitism, they secrete effectors into the host plant from two types of pharyngeal gland cells. These effectors elicit profound changes in host biology to suppress immunity and establish a

The genetics of host adaptation in the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica [PDF]
, 2013 The obligately outbreeding root hemiparasite Striga hermonthica (Orobanchaceae)is a serious threat to subsistence agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Resistance to this parasite in its crop hosts, such as rice, sorghum and maize, is not common, and the ...

Bioinformatic and functional characterisation of Globodera pallida effector genes [PDF]
, 2012 Pathogens secrete molecules, termed effectors, to manipulate their host to the benefit of the pathogen. Effectors of plant parasitic nematodes are predicted to have a range of functions such as facilitating invasion, initiation and maintenance of the ...

Mitochondria in parasitic plants
Mitochondrion, 2020 Plant mitochondrial genomes are renowned for their structural complexity, extreme variation in size and mutation rates, and ability to incorporate foreign DNA. Parasitic flowering plants are no exception, and the close association between parasite and host may even enhance the likelihood of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between them. Recent studies on

Ecology: Plant Parasites Victimized by a Parasitic Plant [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 A recent study reveals a novel type of trophic interaction: galls induced on a native Florida oak by cynipid wasps are attacked by love vine, a subtropical parasitic plant. Attack is fatal to the wasp, and thus there is the opportunity for the vine to exert selection on the wasp to alter gall structure.
