Virus-induced genome editing in the parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum

Hannes Ruwe, Victoria Zimmer, Thomas Spallek

This study develops a virus-mediated CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing in the parasitic plant P. japonicum, bypassing the need for tissue regeneration or floral dip transformation.

The parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum suppresses host immunity

Durga Prasad Naik Bhukya, Thomas Spallek

This study shows that the parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum induces phosphate starvation in Arabidopsis thaliana, leading to suppressed immunity and increased susceptibility to secondary infections.
