Parasitic Plants

1992
Mistletoes, dodder and broomrapes are the best known parasitic higher plants. They are mainly foun in Europe and northern North America. In tropical areas, quite a number of additional species are found, and the author reports on what he observed in Costa Rica, North America and Europe, and discusses species found in Australia, New Caledonia and South ...

Neurobiology of plant parasitic nematodes

Invertebrate Neuroscience, 2011
The regulatory constraints imposed on use of chemical control agents in agriculture are rendering crops increasingly vulnerable to plant parasitic nematodes. Thus, it is important that new control strategies which meet requirements for low toxicity to non-target species, vertebrates and the environment are pursued.

Trypanosomatid parasites of plants (phytomonas)

Parasitology Today, 1990
Trypanosomatids of the genus Phytomonas have been known as parasites of lactiferous plants since the beginning of the century and have been the subject of renewed attention in the past decade, as they are now recognized to be pathogenic in plants of economic interest. Nevertheless, information about these flagellates is still scanty.

Nanotechnology for parasitic plant control

Pest Management Science, 2009
AbstractThe field of nanotechnology opens up novel potential applications for agriculture. Nanotechnology applications are already being explored and used in medicine and pharmacology, but interest for use in crop protection is just starting. The development of nanodevices as smart delivery systems to target specific sites and nanocarriers for ...

Plants that attack plants: molecular elucidation of plant parasitism

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2012
Obligate parasitic plants in the family Orobanchaceae, such as Striga and Orobanche (including Phelipanche) spp., parasitize important crops and cause severe agricultural damage. Recent molecular studies have begun to reveal how these parasites have adapted to hosts in a parasitic lifecycle.

Biology of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

The Journal of Parasitology, 1962
Areas for future research in culturing, nutrition, and physiology of parasitism of plantparasitic nematodes are discussed. Culturing nematodes monoxenically on plant tissue cultures has been successful with several species, but the ultimate aim is propagation on nonliving media.

The Host-Parasite Relationships of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

1969
Publisher Summary This chapter explores the relationship between parasite and potential host prior to the establishment of a feeding site, and describes the different types of nematode–microorganism complexes associated with the host. The basic aspects of host–parasite relationship are considered and the form, mechanism of action, and results of the ...

Parasitic castration of plants by fungi

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1991
If the production of genetically variable offspring is a mechanism of host defense against parasites, then parasites capable of suppressing sexual reproduction in hosts may gain a selective advantage over parasites that do not do so. Recent work has shown that a range of systemic fungi infecting plants sterilize their hosts, effectively preventing ...
