Massive gene loss in mistletoe (Viscum, Viscaceae) mitochondria [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractParasitism is a successful survival strategy across all kingdoms and has evolved repeatedly in angiosperms. Parasitic plants obtain nutrients from other plants and some are agricultural pests. Obligate parasites, which cannot complete their lifecycle without a host, may lack functional photosystems (holoparasites), or have retained ...
