Life history, diversity, and distribution in parasitic flowering plants ...
2021年6月17日 · A review of parasitic plant diversity and outstanding disjunct distributions according to an updated functional classification based on these plants’ life
Distribution patterns and influencing factors of different parasitic ...
2021年6月1日 · Parasitic plants are widely distributed in major biomes. They can be categorized into root parasites and stem parasites in terms of parasitic sites or divided into hemiparasites and holoparasites according to the degree of nutritional dependence on their hosts via haustoria.
Parasitic plants: physiology, development, signaling, and …
Parasitic plants connect to the vasculature of a host plant and take part or all of the water, nutrients, and assimilates they need to complete their life cycle. Parasitic plants represent a unique model for the evolution of intra-kingdom parasitism with intriguing research questions such as how plants were able to evolve the ability to ...
The Parasitic Plant Connection
2022年1月22日 · A great resource for information on all parasitic flowering plants. Includes lists of 230 genera for all 18-22 families, family descriptions, distribution maps, hundreds of color photographs with legends,bibliographic references, and links to …
Parasitic flowering plant collections embody the extended …
2022年4月9日 · Data and metadata obtained from parasitic plant specimens can inform analyses of co-distribution patterns, changes in eco-physiology and species plasticity spanning temporal and spatial scales, chemical ecology of tripartite interactions (e.g. host–parasite–herbivore), and molecular data critical for species conservation.
Distribution and occurrence patterns of parasitic plants have previously been studied at broad and fine scales. We have an emerging appreciation of the suite of factors that limits the larger-scale distribution of parasitic plants, with minimum temperature isotherms, host occurrence, and fire history considered critical (Hawksworth and Wiens 1996;
Diversity and distribution of parasitic angiosperms in China
In this study, we compiled the most comprehensive checklist of parasitic angiosperms throughout China, recording taxonomic status, endemism, life form, and geographical distribution for each parasitic plant species.
Frontiers | Predicting the potential distribution of four …
2022年7月18日 · Our findings indicate that climate factors restricting parasites and hosts’ distributions, niche overlaps between them, together with parasitic species identity, may jointly influence the suitable habitats of parasitic plants.
Recent developments in parasitic plant biology | CABI Reviews
2022年12月16日 · Parasitic plants are taxonomically diverse, globally distributed, and capable of parasitizing a wide array of host plants, often with preferences for specific hosts. Some parasitic plants are damaging pests of numerous crops; their effects can be especially detrimental in low-input agriculture.
Parasitic plants: Current Biology - Cell Press
2018年8月20日 · Parasitic plants can be divided based on whether they are photosynthetically active (hemiparasites) or lack photosynthetic activity and rely entirely on a host for carbon (holoparasites), whether they are facultative or obligate parasites, and whether they attach to the host’s roots or stem.
