Further, C. campestris has many types of ion channels, but which ones were linked to the development of haustorium were previously unknown. Professor Aoki led an Osaka Metropolitan University team ...

Inhibition of haustorium development by redox inhibitor N-ethylmaleimide (F11). A, The 10 μM 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquine (DMBQ) induced Triphysaria seedlings to develop haustorium. B, The 50 μM F11 ...

The parasitic vine Cuscuta campestris grows by latching onto the stems and leaves of plants and inserting organs called haustorium into the host plant tissues to draw nutrients. The haustorium is ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism that drives the parasitic vine Cuscuta campestris to insert organs into plants after making contact with the hosts. The parasitic vine Cuscuta campestris ...
