#parasiticplants CuRe1 ligand identified.
our paper is out in @NatureComms Finally! The tomato receptor CuRe1 senses a cell wall protein to identify Cuscuta as a pathogen http://disq.us/t/3sdfl8y

#Orobanchaceae #parasiticplants
Oil painting of Lathraea rhodopea just completed. This crazy ghost-like plant grows in mountain woods on the border between Greece and Bulgaria; it's rare and hard to find, and is a highlight of my botanical adventures.
Always something new on #NailCan. Noticed clusters of these Orobanche sp. popping up this morning #parasiticplants

#fieldworkfriday with special guest ecologist Dr. K (‘cause I’m a complete #newbie). Starting a fun little research project on #agalinis ecology! #parasiticplants #berrycollege #GetOutThere
4My #evolution class cheerfully trudged over a mile through chilly weather and wet grass to see some #parasiticplants this morning! (And then they agreed to pose for a twitter pic.) @berrycollege has a 27,000-acre #outdoorclassroom!

#parasiticplants #Orobanche
Thanks so much for all the kind comments on the plate I've been working on. Here is the finished piece.
#parasiticplants
Adding the final touches to my plate of some of the Orobanche species of Great Britain.
#parasiticplants
Cuscuta - doesn’t care if you are alive or dead!!!
The most striking of all #parasiticplants?
Happy Wacky Wed. Here's the last Weird Flower post for the year enjoy! This parasitic plant has the world's largest bloom that can grow over 3ft across. The flower is fleshy color with spots. It smells bad and has a hole in the center that holds 6/7 qts of water. @MortgagePtbo
Hi Ayanna great to see a new scientist working #parasiticplants
Consider to join the IPPS, see http://www.parasiticplants.org
Today is #BlackInParasitology!! I study the chemical impacts of Striga asiatica, a parasitic plant, and its impact on sorghum which acts as a host. DMBQ is a quinone released from sorghum which attracts the parasitic striga. I’m learning how and why these processes occur!!
