How vulnerable are holoparasitic plants with obligate hosts to negative climate change impacts?

Elijah Mbandi Mkala et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of climate change on parasitic plants and their hosts. The results show that suitable habitats will contract in the future, but H. africana is less affected by climate change. Parasitic plants may be more vulnerable to climate change due to their dependence on hosts. The predicted distribution ranges of host plants will be less affected and only partially overlap with the distribution of the parasites.

Deeply Altered Genome Architecture in the Endoparasitic Flowering Plant Sapria himalayana Griff. (Rafflesiaceae)

Liming Cai et al.

Summary: Despite significant differences in genome size among angiosperms, key features of genome architecture are largely conserved. The highly modified genome of Sapria himalayana Griff. demonstrates high levels of gene loss compared to other vascular plants and extreme disparity in intron size among retained genes. Furthermore, at least 1.2% of the Sapria genome is inferred to be derived from host-to-parasite horizontal gene transfers, highlighting the value of HGTs as DNA fossils to study extinct symbioses.

Prosopanche cocuccii (Hydnoraceae): a new species from Southern Brazil

Jordano D. Tavares De Carvalho et al.

Summary: Prosopanche cocuccii is a newly described species from Southern Brazil, closely resembling P. bonacinae but distinguished by specific floral morphological characteristics. The new species exhibits rare features for the genus, such as highly branched rhizomes and flowers usually grouped in fascicles. Additionally, P. cocuccii produces a large number of rhizomes and fruits for each single host specimen of tobacco, impacting the height and growth of its host plant.

Understanding the Ethnobotany, Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Distribution of Genus Hydnora (Aristolochiaceae)

Elijah Mbandi Mkala et al.

Summary: The genus Hydnora, one of the basal angiosperms in the order Piperales, is found in semi-arid regions of Africa and the Southern Arabian Peninsula, playing essential roles in various communities worldwide. With eight species currently identified, two widely distributed species, Hydnora abyssinica and Hydnora africana, are known for their medicinal and nutritional values. Despite being utilized in ancient folkloric medicine, documentation on their traditional uses and pharmacological value is lacking. Further research is needed to explore phytochemistry, pharmacological activities, and distribution of this genus.

Discordant Phylogenomic Placement of Hydnoraceae and Lactoridaceae Within Piperales Using Data From All Three Genomes

Matthias Jost et al.

Summary: The phylogenetic relationships within the magnoliid order Piperales have been extensively studied, yet the relationships of the monotypic family Lactoridaceae and the holoparasitic Hydnoraceae within the order remain unclear. Extensive phylogenomic reconstructions based on subcellular genomes have led to the proposal of excluding Hydnoraceae and Lactoridaceae from the broad circumscription of Aristolochiaceae, instead recognizing four distinct families within Piperales.
