Activity of xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases suggests a role during host invasion by the parasitic plant Cuscuta reflexa
The parasitic vines of the genus Cuscuta form haustoria that grow into other plants and connect with their vascular system, thus allowing the parasite to feed on its host. A major obstacle that meets the infection organ as it penetrates the host tissue is the rigid plant cell wall. In the present study, we examined the activity of xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases (XTHs) during the ho...
متن کاملTrehalose Toxicity in Cuscuta reflexa: Cell Wall Synthesis Is Inhibited upon Trehalose Feeding.
alpha,alpha-Trehalose induced a rapid blackening of the terminal 2.5-centimeter region of excised Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. vine. The incorporation of radioactivity from [(14)C]glucose into alkali-insoluble fraction of shoot tip was markedly inhibited by 12 hours of trehalose feeding to an excised vine. This inhibition was confined to the apical segment of the vine in which cell elongation occurred...
متن کاملParasitic plants of the genus Cuscuta and their interaction with susceptible and resistant host plants
By comparison with plant-microbe interaction, little is known about the interaction of parasitic plants with their hosts. Plants of the genus Cuscuta belong to the family of Cuscutaceae and comprise about 200 species, all of which live as stem holoparasites on other plants. Cuscuta spp. possess no roots nor fully expanded leaves and the vegetative portion appears to be a stem only. The parasite...
متن کاملStem parasitic plant Cuscuta australis (dodder) transfers herbivory-induced signals among plants.
Cuscuta spp. (i.e., dodders) are stem parasites that naturally graft to their host plants to extract water and nutrients; multiple adjacent hosts are often parasitized by one or more Cuscuta plants simultaneously, forming connected plant clusters. Metabolites, proteins, and mRNAs are known to be transferred from hosts to Cuscuta, and Cuscuta bridges even facilitate host-to-host virus movement. ...
متن کاملHost Specificity of Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. in the Manas Biosphere Reserve, Indo-Burma Hotspot
The dodder plant Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. is an angiospermic leafless parasitic plant belonging to the family Cuscutaceae is abundantly found colonizing certain plant species in the premises of Manas Biosphere Reserve (MBR) and nearby area. Ten (10) angiospermic host plants in total of the above parasite were recognized. Based on the field inspection most of the numbers of patches were recorded in...
