Plastome Analysis of the Parasitic Indian Olive (Nestronia Umbellula) [PDF]
Parasitic plants exploit their hosts for water and nutrients, often resulting in a decreased reliance on photosynthetic processes. Increased levels of parasitism are associated with relaxed evolutionary pressure to photosynthesize, often resulting in ...

Puzzling parasitic plants: phylogenetics and classification of Santalales revisited
Abstract Based on a previously published but realigned matrix for Santalales, we find many relationships that were weakly or unsupported in previous studies are here much better supported, providing a more robust foundation upon which to discuss Santalales classification.

Plant species adapting to complex environments will experience contrasting selection pressures that drive the expansion and contraction of different gene families. However, few studies have investigated simultaneous genomic responses to such diverse selection.
