The evolution of parasitism in plants
The multiple independent origins of plant parasitism suggest that numerous ancestral plant
lineages possessed the developmental flexibility to meet the requirements of a parasitic life …

Comparative transcriptome analyses reveal core parasitism genes and suggest gene duplication and repurposing as sources of structural novelty
The origin of novel traits is recognized as an important process underlying many major
evolutionary radiations. We studied the genetic basis for the evolution of haustoria, the novel …
