ABSTRACT  The oak mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum, Viscaceae) is well-documented to exhibit preference for a few potential host species in a given locality, even when many potential host species are present. In trying to explain this distribution, we examined the mechanisms by which mistletoe seedlings recognize potentially suitable hosts in the Piney Woods ecoregion of east Texas. An initial survey of patterns of infection on the campus of Sam Houston State University revealed that water oak… Expand

Host recognition in a desert mistletoe: early stages of development are influenced by substrate and host origin
TLDR
The existence of interactions between mistletoe seed and host branch on the basis of chemical cues that are active at an early stage of seedling development and are host-specific at the level of populations is suggested. Expand
Heritable variation in quinone-induced haustorium development in the parasitic plant Triphysaria.
TLDR
Heritable, natural variation in the recognition of a haustorial-inducing factor by a parasitic member of the Scrophulariaceae is demonstrated. Expand
Host Specificity of American Mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum, Viscaceae) in Garrard County, Kentucky
TLDR
American mistletoe exhibits an aggregated or clumped spatial distribution pattern among host trees, which is characteristic of its life history and avian method of dispersal. Expand
Parasitism by Cuscuta pentagona sequentially induces JA and SA defence pathways in tomato.
TLDR
These findings provide the first documentation of plant hormonal signalling induced by a parasitic plant and show that tomato responses to C. pentagona display characteristics similar to both herbivore- and pathogen-induced responses. Expand
Broomrape Weeds. Underground Mechanisms of Parasitism and Associated Strategies for their Control: A Review
TLDR
The points of vulnerability of some underground events, key for their parasitism such as crop-induced germination or haustorial development are reviewed as inhibition targets of the broomrape-crop association. Expand

Anatomy of Mistletoe (Phoradendron flavescens) Seedlings Grown in Culture
TLDR
Pit callose was observed in parenchyma tissue of certain seedlings in a pattern suggesting a pathway for movement of materials between endosperm and vascular tissue. Expand
Plants that attack plants: molecular elucidation of plant parasitism.
TLDR
The development of a specialized infecting organ called a haustorium is a unique feature of plant parasites and is triggered by host compounds and redox signals. Expand
The first mistletoes: origins of aerial parasitism in Santalales.
TLDR
In all clades except Misodendraceae, it appears that aerial parasites evolved from ancestors that were polymorphic for either root or stem parasitism-a condition here termed amphiphagous. Expand

TLDR
Evidence is continuing to emerge that parasite perception of host factors occurs via a redox-associated mechanism and genes predicted to function during the early stages of parasite-host interactions have been cloned from both plant partners and their characterization is providing a genetic framework on which to model subterranean plant-plant interactions.
