    • Footprints of parasitism in the genome of the parasitic flowering plant Cuscuta campestris 

      Vogel, Alexander; Schwacke, Rainer; Denton, Alisandra; Usadel, Björn; Hollmann, Julien; Fischer, Karsten; Bolger, Anthony; Schmidt, Maximilian; Bolger, Marie; Grundlach, Heidrun; Mayer, Klaus F.X.; Weiss-Schneeweiss, Hanna; Temsch, Eva M.; Krause, Kirsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-28)
      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 threat for agriculture globally. Nevertheless, no genome sequence of a parasitic plant has been reported to date. Here we describe the genome sequence of the parasitic field dodder, Cuscuta campestris. The genome contains ...

    • Getting ready for host invasion: Elevated expression and action of xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases in developing haustoria of the holoparasitic angiosperm Cuscuta 

      Olsen, Stian; Ketelsen Striberny, Bernd; Hollmann, Julien; Schwacke, Rainer; Popper, Zoe A.; Krause, Kirsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-11)
      Changes in cell walls have been previously observed in the mature infection organ, or haustorium, of the parasitic angiosperm Cuscuta, but are not equally well charted in young haustoria. In this study, we focused on the molecular processes in the early stages of developing haustoria; that is, before the parasite engages in a physiological contact with its host. We describe first the identification ...
