Abstract: Abstract Horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) from host or other organisms have been reported in mitochondrial genomes of parasitic plants. Genes transferred in this fashion have usually been found nonfunctional. Several examples of HGT from the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.842260
Abstract: Karyotypes are characterized by traits such as chromosome number, which can change through whole-genome duplication and dysploidy. In the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae), chromosome numbers vary more than 18-fold. In addition, species of this… read more here.
