Cross-Species Translocation of mRNA from Host Plants into the Parasitic Plant Dodder
Dodders (Cuscuta spp.) are parasitic plants that live by tapping into the vascular tissue of a host plant. Contents of the host phloem translocate readily into the parasite, and shared plasmodesmata have been documented between host cortical cells and dodder searching hyphae. Dodder is known to …

Exploring host-parasitic plant interactions by examining mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility
… and the shoot parasite Cuscuta gronovii (swamp dodder), as well as investigations into Arabidopsis and tomato molecular responses to parasitism. These comparative studies reveal parasite-induced changes in hosts across diverse plant systems. The chapter II of the dissertation examines …

Air quality and Intelligent Transportation Systems : understanding Integrated Innovation, Deployment and Adaptation of Public Technologies
During the past two decades, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have provided transportation organizations with increasingly advanced tools both to operate and manage systems in real-time. At the same time, federal legislation has been tightening the linkages between state and local …

Host use and foraging in the parasitic plant Cuscuta subinclusa.
Foraging theory predicts active responses by organisms upon encounter with a resource, as opposed to the passive responses of differential survivorship and growth. Stems of the parasitic plant Cuscuta subinclusa invest in resource acquisition (coil) relative to host quality in a way predicted by …

Massive Exchange of mRNA between a Parasitic Plant and its Hosts
Cuscuta pentagona is an obligate parasitic plant that hinders production of crops throughout the world. Parasitic plants have unique morphological and physiological features, the most prominent being the haustorium, a specialized organ that functions to connect them with their host's vascular …
