APPROACH TO THE CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE ON DODDERS (CUSCUTA L. CONVOLVULACEAE) FROM A TAXONOMIC, MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW by Maria TĂNASE

“…Cuscuta offers many curiosities and features that explain the plant's adaptation to parasitism: an enormous fertility of up to 10,000 seeds per plant; a long subsistence in the search for host plants; a long-lasting and staggered germinative faculty, due to the phenomenon of skin inhibition; a lack of cotyledon (though still considered to belong to the Dicotiledonatae class); the presence of chlorophyll in all organs of the plant, with the exception of the root (and nonetheless the inability to photosynthesize, unless under conditions of a carbon dioxide-enriched atmosphere); lack of a meristem and root sculpture, which results in a solely ascending migration of assimilates; the resistance of living haustoria in the host plant while the parasite’s stem is dead, thus enabling the parasitic plant to regenerate and become perennial; the ability to transmit diseases such as viruses and mycoplasmas; etc. …”
