Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Taxillus nigrans
Taxillus nigrans (Hance) Danser (Loranthaceae) is a widely distributed mistletoe species in low mountains, hills, and river basins in subtropical areas of southwestern China. The whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of T. nigrans has been characterized

Modelación de la distribución espacial del muérdago (Santalales: Loranthaceae) en las áreas verdes de la delegación Tlalpan, México [PDF]
Altas tasas de disturbio han sido reportadas en el Area Natural Protegida "Zoquiapan y Anexas" en el Centro de Mexico. Arceuthobium globosum y A. vaginatum coexisten en esta area y tienen un impacto negativo sobre Pinus hartwegii. Este estudio busca entender la relacion entre el disturbio y las dos especies de muerdago enano que prevalecen en esta zona.

Rate heterogeneity in six protein-coding genes from the holoparasite Balanophora (Balanophoraceae) and other taxa of Santalales [PDF]
The holoparasitic flowering plant Balanophora displays extreme floral reduction and was previously found to have enormous rate acceleration in the nuclear 18S rDNA region. So far, it remains unclear whether non-ribosomal, protein-coding genes of Balanophora also evolve in an accelerated fashion and whether the genes with high substitution rates retain ...

Five new species of Hypseloecus Reuter (Hemiptera: Miridae) on hemiparasitic Santalales from India
Five new species of Hypseloecus viz., Hypseloecus acutus sp. nov., Hypseloecus articulatus sp. nov., Hypseloecus belli sp. nov., Hypseloecus orientale sp. nov. and Hypseloecus spinosus sp. nov. are described from India. The genus is recorded for the first time from India collected on hemiparasitic plants of the genera Dendrophthoe and Viscum ...

Mitochondrial genome evolution in parasitic plants
Background Parasitic plants rely on their host to cover their nutritional requirements either for their entire life or a smaller part of it. Depending on the level of parasitism, a proportional reduction on the plastid genome has been found.
