Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.
