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.

@RunoSteven @Hayleyy_McKay @TheVarsity @UofTCellSysBiol @UofT @NaturePlants It was a team effort! Thanks @RunoSteven and others for building the #parasiticplants community. We are very happy 😃 to be part of it. More results to come!!!
野田口ラボとのコラボ。bioRxivで出ていたのが、Comm Biolにアクセプト。RIKEN-CSRSとNagoya U ITbMの連携から生まれました。”寄生植物と接ぎ木の共通点とは何か”の視点ではじまりました。すごいのは、寄生植物コシオガマがいろんな植物に接ぎ木できることです！#parasiticplants #parasiticplant
Comm Biol: Host-parasite tissue adhesion by a secreted type of β-1,4-glucanase in the parasitic plant Phtheirospermum… Well done, Ken-ichi and Taka. Great collaboration bewteen ITbM and CSRS http://disq.us/t/3qq912h

#ParasiticPlants are real plant vampires 🧛♀️🌱
Fascinating talk by @l_teixeiracosta about making the terminology clearer so we can better understand their mysterious ways - I learned a lot! Like how gruesome it actually look when a haustorium penetrates the host... 😬 #Botany2020
#ParasiticPlants are wild! Their anatomy and development still hold many mysteries that can help us understand how these plants have evolved and how they communicate with their hosts!
Super interesting talk by @l_teixeiracosta on #haustorium, which if by any other name would cause misunderstanding of parasitic plant biology. #Parasitic plants are just... fascinating!!... #Botany2020
There has been a #movie called #parasites, but if anyone looks out for #parasiticplants via #wikipedia one can see what I mean reg #VinuPhilip.. who crept in with #lies n #deception.. got the #Gang going.. n having #depleted much is making him our #world Na? 😀 28072020IST0607(4)
