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.
- Vote for the venue for the next World Congress on Parasitic Plants 2021
- 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

@solublefischel @meta_kosmia @highriseruins That is not a parasitic plant but a fungus. #Parasiticplants are less cruel and donot make zombies out of ants. But they are at least as fascinating! Have a look at http://www.parasitcplants.org
@andromeda349 @TheFive #parasiticplants Parasitic plants in the news. Plant biology wise full of misconceptions.
