Using the facultative root hemiparasite Rhinanthus minor and Hordeum vulgare as a host, the flows, depositions, and metabolism of abscisic acid (ABA) within the host, within the parasite, and between host and parasite have been studied. When the plants were supplied with 5 mM NO(3)(-), there were
Facultative plant hemiparasites exhibit optimal growth only when attached to a suitable host. After attachment, stomata of the parasite remain continuously open, thus, optimising the extraction of host xylem sap. When the host shoot was removed from the hemiparasitic Rhinanthus/barley association
The high quality of leguminous hosts for the parasitic plant Rhinanthus minor (in terms of growth and fecundity), compared with forbs (non-leguminous dicots) has long been assumed to be a function of the legume's ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) from the air and the potential for direct
