A #haustorium, the invasive organ of parasitic plants, intercepts water and nutrients from host plants.

This #review compares morphogenesis of three types of haustoria in Striga and Cuscuta, taking a closer look at the role of #auxin and #cytokinin 🔎

A roadmap of haustorium morphogenesis in parasitic plants

Parasitic plants invade their host through the formation of haustoria. Here we discuss the development of these organs and highlight the role of the phytohormon
