International Parasitic Plant Society
Welcome to the homepage of the International Parasitic Plant Society (IPPS). The IPPS is dedicated to advancing scientific research on parasitic plants. Our goals include increasing the understanding of these amazing plants, providing a platform for exchange among and beyond the scientific community as well as helping to decrease the crop damage inflicted by weedy parasitic plants.
- 16th World Congress on Parasitic plants to take place in Nairobi, Kenya
- Mixed outcomes from conservation practices on soils and Striga-affected yields of a low-input, rice–maize system in Madagascar
- Dodder and host plants exchange large amount of proteins
- Dodder mediates inter-plant salt systemic signaling
- New project focussing in Striga resistance enhancing plant nutrition of sorghum

@huguesmassicot1 @huguesmassicot1 Attached are the missing images of Balanophora. These specimens were collected in a mixed broadleaved forest with Lithocarpus, Ilex and Shima trees at Ailaoshan subtropical ecological station.
#parasiticplants what a
beauty! https://twitter.com/Plingmyaan/status/1262364315182661633
Rafflesia , worlds biggest flower . Parasitic plant lacks chlorophyll . Plant has no stems, leaves or roots . Flower may be over 100 centimetres (40 in) in diameter, and weigh up to 10 kilograms (22 lb). Flowers smell like rotting flesh, hence its local name "meat flower"
