The transcription machineries of plant mitochondria and chloroplasts: composition, function, and regulation
Although genomes of mitochondria and plastids are very small compared to those of their
bacterial ancestors, the transcription machineries of these organelles are of surprising …

The plant vampire diaries: a historic perspective on Cuscuta research
M Hartenstein, M Albert, K Krause - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The angiosperm genus Cuscuta lives as an almost achlorophyllous root-and leafless
holoparasite and has therefore occupied scientists for more than a century. The 'evolution'of …

Mechanisms of functional and physical genome reduction in photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic parasitic plants of the broomrape family
Nonphotosynthetic plants possess strongly reconfigured plastomes attributable to
convergent losses of photosynthesis and housekeeping genes, making them excellent …
