This study presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies of two dodder species, revealing genomic features linked to parasitism and polyploid evolution.

This study identifies horizontal gene transfer of a functional cytochrome P450 gene from host plants to parasitic dodders, accompanied by intron gains involving transposon colonization.

This study examines how environmental factors affect seed germination and seedling growth in Cuscuta campestris, revealing unique responses to light and hormones.
