Effects of Parasitism on the Competitive Ability of Invasive and Native Species
Life, 2022 Parasitic plants can often seriously harm host plants and, thus, alter competitive dominance between hosts and neighbouring species. However, whether and how parasitic plants differently affect the competitive abilities of invasive and the native plants ...

Pectin Remodeling and Involvement of AtPME3 in the Parasitic Plant-Plant Interaction, Phelipanche ramosa-Arabidospis thaliana. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)International audiencePhelipanche ramosa is a root parasitic plant fully dependent on host plants for nutrition and development. Upon germination, the parasitic seedling develops inside the infected roots a specific organ, the haustorium, thanks to the ...

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.

Identification and characterisation of a hyper-variable apoplastic effector gene family of the potato cyst nematodes [PDF]
, 2014 Date of Acceptance: 11/08/2014Sedentary endoparasitic nematodes are obligate biotrophs that modify host root tissues, using a suite of effector proteins to create and maintain a feeding site that is their sole source of nutrition. Using assumptions about

Apoplastic interactions between plants and plant root intruders
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Numerous pathogenic or parasitic organisms attack plant roots to obtain nutrients, and the apoplast including the plant cell wall is where the plant cell meets such organisms.

Chemical compounds from Dictyostelium discoideum repel a plant-parasitic nematode and can protect roots. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Slime mold species in the genus Dictyostelium are considered to have a close relationship with non-parasitic nematodes; they are sympatric in soils and can exhibit interspecific competition for food. We investigated whether this relationship extends to a
