  • Parasitic plants obtain nutrients from their hosts. Here the authors show that nitrogen sufficiency suppresses parasitism in the root parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum by increasing levels of the phytohormone ABA suggesting that the degree of parasitism is regulated by nutrient availability.

  • Ken-ichi Kurotani, Takanori Wakatake et al. study tissue adhesion in plants. They found that the model Orobanchaceae parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum can be grafted on to interfamily species. Using transcriptome profiling, the identify genes involved in tissue adhesion between distant species and demonstrate that β-1,4-glucanase plays an important role in plant parasitism.
