Parasitic Plants: An Overview of Mechanisms by Which Plants Perceive and Respond to Parasites
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2022In contrast to most autotrophic plants, which produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide using photosynthesis, parasitic plants obtain water and nutrients by parasitizing host plants. Many important crop plants are infested by these heterotrophic plants, leading to severe agricultural loss and reduced food security.

Trends in Parasitology, 2016
Anthelminthic resistance is acknowledged worldwide and is a major problem in Aotearoa New Zealand, thus alternative parasite management strategies are imperative. One Health is an initiative linking animal, human, and environmental health. Parasites, plants, and people illustrate the possibilities of providing diverse diets for stock thereby lowering ...

The evolution of parasitism in plants
Trends in Plant Science, 2010The multiple independent origins of plant parasitism suggest that numerous ancestral plant lineages possessed the developmental flexibility to meet the requirements of a parasitic life style, including such adaptations as the ability to recognize host plants, form an invasive haustorium, and regulate the transfer of nutrients and other molecules ...

Plants under stress by parasitic plants
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2017In addition to other biotic stresses, parasitic plants pose an additional threat to plants and cause crop losses, worldwide. Plant parasites directly connect to the vasculature of host plants thereby stealing water, nutrients, and carbohydrates consequently leading to tremendously reduced biomass and losses in seed yields of the infected host plants ...

Strigolactones and Parasitic Plants
2019A parasitic plant is a flowering plant that attaches itself morphologically and physiologically to a host (another plant) by a modified root (the haustorium). Only about 25 out of the 270 genera of parasitic plants have a negative impact in agriculture and forestry, and thus can be considered weeds.

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, 2011The 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, 1990Trypanosomatids 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, 2009AbstractThe 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, 2012Obligate 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.
