The haustorium, a specialized invasive organ in parasitic plants
Parasitic plants thrive by infecting other plants. Flowering plants evolved parasitism
independently at least 12 times, in all cases developing a unique multicellular organ called …

Parasitic plants of the genus Cuscuta and their interaction with susceptible and resistant host plants
B Kaiser, G Vogg, UB Fürst, M Albert - Frontiers in plant science, 2015 - frontiersin.org
By comparison with plant–microbe interaction, little is known about the interaction of
parasitic plants with their hosts. Plants of the genus Cuscuta belong to the family of …

Plastid genomes of seed plants
RK Jansen, TA Ruhlman - Genomics of chloroplasts and mitochondria, 2012 - Springer
The field of comparative plastid genomics has burgeoned during the past decade, largely
due to the availability of rapid, less expensive genome sequencing technologies. Currently …

Extreme reconfiguration of plastid genomes in the angiosperm family Geraniaceae: rearrangements, repeats, and codon usage
Geraniaceae plastid genomes (plastomes) have experienced a remarkable number of
genomic changes. The plastomes of Erodium texanum, Geranium palmatum, and Monsonia …

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 …

Large-scale gene losses underlie the genome evolution of parasitic plant Cuscuta australis
Abstract Dodders (Cuscuta spp., Convolvulaceae) are root-and leafless parasitic plants. The
physiology, ecology, and evolution of these obligate parasites are poorly understood. A high …

Footprints of parasitism in the genome of the parasitic flowering plant Cuscuta campestris
A parasitic lifestyle, where plants procure some or all of their nutrients from other living
plants, has evolved independently in many dicotyledonous plant families and is a major …
