Isophasic Parasitism in Phoradendron Perredactum (viscaceae)
It is pointed out that the newly described Phoradendron perredactum Rzedowski & Calderón exhibits an advanced type of growth behavior (isophasic parasitism) that also occurs in three other, unrelated groups of parasitic flowering plants.
متن کاملThe discovery of three genetic races of the dwarf mistletoe Arceuthobium americanum (Viscaceae) provides insight into the evolution of parasitic angiosperms.
A population genetic approach was used to explore the evolutionary biology of the parasitic angiosperm Arceuthobium americanum Nutt. ex Engelm. (Viscaceae). Arceuthobium americanum infects three principal hosts and has the most extensive geographical range of any North American dwarf mistletoe. Based on the lack of apparent morphological and phenological differences between populations of A. am...
متن کاملDwarf mistletoe-host interactions in mixed-conifer forests in the sierra nevada.
ABSTRACT We determined the spatial pattern of dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium spp.) associated with two different conifer hosts, white fir (Abies concolor) and Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), in forests around the Lake Tahoe Basin and at the Teakettle Experimental Forest, both located in the Sierra Nevada. We also examined a number of host variables and bark beetle incidence to determine how these...
متن کاملMassive gene loss in mistletoe (Viscum, Viscaceae) mitochondria
Parasitism is a successful survival strategy across all kingdoms and has evolved repeatedly in angiosperms. Parasitic plants obtain nutrients from other plants and some are agricultural pests. Obligate parasites, which cannot complete their lifecycle without a host, may lack functional photosystems (holoparasites), or have retained photosynthesis (hemiparasites). Plastid genomes are often reduc...
