Discordant Phylogenomic Placement of Hydnoraceae and Lactoridaceae Within Piperales Using Data From All Three Genomes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Phylogenetic relationships within the magnoliid order Piperales have been studied extensively, yet the relationships of the monotypic family Lactoridaceae and the holoparasitic Hydnoraceae to the remainder of the order remain a matter of debate.

The floral ABCs of Hydnora, one of the most bizarre parasitic plants in the world, and its autotrophic relatives of the order Piperales [PDF]
EvoDevoHydnora (Hydnoraceae) comprises a few parasitic species exceptional among the autotrophic members of the perianth-bearing Piperales. Flowers in the genus are thick, fleshy, sapromyophilous, and develop into massive, polyspermous fruits.

Genomic Footprints of Multiple Host Lineages in the Mitochondrial and Nuclear Genomes of the Holoparasite Prosopanche americana [PDF]
PlantsHorizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is a hallmark of the evolution of parasitic plants, facilitated by the haustorial connection. While mitochondrial HGT is widespread, the extent of nuclear HGT and the long-term retention of foreign genetic material in ...
