Localised photosynthetic pigments in the node of a holoparasitic plant: support for shoot growth?

ABSTRACT Understanding the role of photosynthesis in the holoparasitic genus Cuscuta may give insights into the biology and evolution of these plants. We hypothesised that light irradiance on the node of C. racemosa is important for sustaining the growth of the new shoot through photosynthesis. We b...
