let's keep it going because "parasites" are fascinating. Dodder plants are usually generalized obligate plant parasites. Dodders have "stolen" at least 108 genes from various plants its parasitized. Bonus, dodder plants also seem to be able to double as a sort of above-ground mycorrhizal network, allowing plants (even across species) to communicate with each other and send warning signals about pests/stressors/etc |
