Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Scurrula parasitica

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Scurrula parasitica L., a hemiparasitic plant species, is a medicinal plant reported to have anticancer effect on human cancer cell lines. The whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Scurrula parasitica has been characterized from Illumina pair-end ...

The complete plastome of Taxillus vestitus (Loranthaceae), a hemiparasitic plant

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Taxillus vestitus (Wallich) Danser (Loranthaceae) is a stem hemiparasite occurring in southwest China and Himalayas. In this study, we report the first complete plastome of this species.

Historical biogeography of Loranthaceae (Santalales): Diversification agrees with emergence of tropical forests and radiation of songbirds [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2018
Coadaptation between mistletoes and birds captured the attention of Charles Darwin over 150 years ago, stimulating considerable scientific research. Here we used Loranthaceae, a speciose and ecologically important mistletoe family, to obtain new insights into the interrelationships among its hosts and dispersers.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the hemiparasitic mistletoe Psittacanthus palmeri (Loranthaceae) and comparative analysis of mitogenomes across Santalales

Botan‪ical Sciences
Background: In parasitic plants, it remains uncertain whether size, structure, and mutation rates in the mitogenome aligns with those of other angiosperms, and whether reduction in gene content is found across lineages of parasitic plants.

The complete chloroplast genome of Scurrula chingii (W.C. Cheng) H.S. Kiu (Loranthaceae), a hemiparasitic shrub

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Scurrula chingii (W.C. Cheng) H.S. Kiu is a stem hemiparasite of the genus Scurrula in the family Loranthaceae distributed in southwest China and northern Vietnam. Here, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of S.

Mitochondrial genome evolution in parasitic plants

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
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.

A new species and a new record of Heisteria Jacq. (Olacaceae s.l.) from the Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo, Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022
During taxonomic studies of extra-Amazonian species of Heisteria, a new record (Heisteria maytenoides) and new species (Heisteria longipedicellata) from the Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo were identified. Morphological descriptions, illustrations, the

European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.
