Interspecies hormonal control of host root morphology by parasitic plants [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017 Significance Parasitic plants are pests of many plants, including major crop species. An important step toward creating resistance to parasitic plants is gaining a better understanding of how these pathogens control the physiology ...

Functional biology of parasitic plants: a review
, 2016 Individual independent lineages largely differ in size (number of species), phylogenetic age and the degree of trophic specialization (Barkman et al. 2007, Nickrent 2012, Naumann et al. 2013).

Genomic comparison of non-photosynthetic plants from the family Balanophoraceae with their photosynthetic relatives [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The plant family Balanophoraceae consists entirely of species that have lost the ability to photosynthesize. Instead, they obtain nutrients by parasitizing other plants.

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 ...

The mechanism of host-induced germination in root parasitic plants.
Plant Physiology, 2021 Chemical signals known as strigolactones were discovered more than 50 years ago as host-derived germination stimulants of parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae. Strigolactone-responsive germination is an essential adaptation of obligate parasites in this
