Large-scale gene losses underlie the genome evolution of parasitic plant Cuscuta australis
Dodders (Cuscuta spp., Convolvulaceae) are root- and leafless parasitic plants. Here, the authors sequence the genome of Cuscuta australis and find remarkable gene loss associated with parasitic lifestyle and large changes in body plan.
