The Complete Plastomes of Five Hemiparasitic Plants (Osyris wightiana, Pyrularia edulis, Santalum album, Viscum liquidambaricolum, and V. ovalifolium): Comparative and Evolutionary Analyses Within Santalales [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Most species of Santalales (the sandalwood order) are hemiparasites, including both facultative and obligate hemiparasites. Despite its rich diversity, only a small fraction of the species in the sandalwood order have sequenced plastomes.

Shifts from cis-to trans-splicing of five mitochondrial introns in Tolypanthus maclurei [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Shifts from cis-to trans-splicing of mitochondrial introns tend to correlate with relative genome rearrangement rates during vascular plant evolution, as is particularly apparent in some lineages of gymnosperms.

Range and Elevational Shifts of Mistletoes Under Future Climate Change Scenarios. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMistletoes are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their obligate dependence on host plants. We investigated how climate change will alter the distribution of suitable habitat of Mesoamerican Psittacanthus mistletoes. Species differences were found in distribution with northward and upward shifts accompanied by significant range size ...

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 first macrofossil record of parasitic plant flowers from an Eocene Baltic amber [PDF]
HeliyonParasitic plants left little trace in the macrofossil record, making their evolutionary history mysterious. Baltic amber and other fossil lagerstätts have provided plenty of angiosperm fossils, there are only three reports of fossil leaves (cf. Schoepfia
