resumo
Cytinus hypocistis (L.) L. is a rootless, stemless, and leafless holoparasite
with a vegetative body reduced to an endophytic system that only grows
inside the host [1,2]. Although to date, most studies on plant parasitism
were focused on nutrient transfer from host to the parasite and the
influence of parasites on host plants, a growing number of studies have
documented the transfer of non-nutrient molecules.
The transference of phytohormones,
secondary metabolites, RNAs, and proteins
suggests that hosts may significantly
impact parasite physiology and ecology [3].
