Plant lovers ! Not only did we get a mock cover but the real cover!. Valentina did a phantastic job targeting all key stages of fruit development in the gooey Loranthaceae. Also stay tuned for the genetics of extreme ovule modifications. #non-modelplantsrock #parasitesbreakdevelopmentalrules

Favourite time of year! The Moodjar are out! #Nuytsia floribunda, this large tree is part of one the 5 or so linages of plants that form Mistletoes, within the Santalales order, with this species in the #Loranthaceae family!

A new plant species has been described from Cameroon: Phragmanthera bidaultii (Loranthaceae), discovered along the Sanaga River. Found in threatened riverine forests, it has unique floral traits and a very restricted range, and is assessed as Endangered.

Day 12: Some #mistletoe species are "hyperparasites"! They grow on other mistletoes of different or of the same species (=autoparasites), often altering the effects of the primary parasite (Krasylenko et al., 2021). Note the different leaves of host, parasite and hyperparasite below... 🤯🧪 (13/26)
Figure 1C from Krasylenko et al., American Journal of Botany. Original caption: Mistletoe Struthanthus flexicaulis (Loranthaceae) epiparasite upon another mistletoe, Psittacanthus robustus (Loranthaceae), which in turn parasitizes Cecropia sp. (Urticaceae). hp = hyperparasite, p = parasite
