Cuscuta campestris is one of the most widespread and most harmful parasitic plants in the
world. It regularly infests economically important crops substantially reducing their yield. Its …

Cuscuta campestris Yunck. is a parasitic plant, acquiring nutrients from the hosts. Although a
generalist, its hosts differ in their susceptibility. Ipomoea tricolor Cav. is a semi-compatible …

Seedlings of the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta (dodder) locate hosts by circumnutation, coil
around the host near soil level and form a haustorium, establishing a primary parasitism …

Main conclusions C. campestris parasitisation increases internal host defences at the
expense of environmentally directed ones in the host species A. campestris, thus limiting …

When we first think about plant pathogens, we usually picture viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
What less often comes to mind are other plants. However, parasitic plants are present in all …

Cuscuta is a stem holoparasitic plant without leaves or roots, parasitizing various types of
host plants and causing major problems for certain crops. Cuscuta is known as a generalist …

In stressed plants, electrophysiological reactions (elR s) are presumed to contribute to long-
distance intercellular communication between distant plant parts. Because of the focus on …

Cuscuta campestris (dodder) is a stem holoparasitic plant without leaves or roots that
parasitizes various types of host plants and causes damage to certain crops worldwide. This …
