Angiosperms that morphologically and physiologically attach to other flowering plants by
means of a haustorium have evolved 12 times independently resulting in 292 genera and …

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 …

Premise of the Study We present the first plastome phylogeny encompassing all 77 monocot
families, estimate branch support, and infer monocot‐wide divergence times and rates of …

The Cuscuta genus comprises obligate parasitic plants that have an unusually wide host
range. Whether Cuscuta uses different infection strategies for different hosts or whether the …

Parasitic plants are a constraint on agriculture worldwide. Cuscuta reflexa is a stem
holoparasite that infests most dicotyledonous plants. One exception is tomato, which is …

Background–Parasitic plants are functionally specialized to acquire at least some essential
resources from other plants via specialized organs called haustoria. Parasitism evolved 12 …

Convolvulaceae is a family of c. 2,000 species, distributed across 60 currently recognized
genera. It includes species of high economic importance, such as the crop sweet potato …

Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long‐distance
dispersal from particular source areas. We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the …

Cuscuta (dodders, Convolvulaceae) is one of the largest and most economically important
lineages of parasitic plants. The genus has a sub-cosmopolitan distribution with more than …
