Embryogenesis, endospermogenesis and fruit development in lophophytum (balanophoraceae) : focus on endosperm and embryo initiation
(Elsevier, 2017-05-05)
Studies on the development of the endosperm, embryo and fruit are scarce in Balanophoraceae, since a particular pattern for the family has not been established. Moreover, discrepancies between the reported cases are being ...
Embryology in Helosis cayennensis (Balanophoraceae): Structure of Female Flowers, Fruit, Endosperm and Embryo
(MDPI, 2019-03)
Helosis cayennensis (Balanophoraceae s.str.) is a holoparasite characterised by aberrant vegetative bodies and tiny, reduced unisexual flowers. Here, we analysed the development of female flowers to elucidate their ...

Floral development and anatomy of pistillate flowers of lophophytum (balanophoraceae), with special reference to the embryo sac inversion
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The extreme reduction of flowers in the Balanophoraceae has generated few and incomplete studies with scattered and often contradictory results with respect to embryology. Using light and scanning microscopy, gynoecium, ...
Morphogenesis is highly aberrant in the vegetative body of the holoparasite Lophophytum leandrii (Balanophoraceae): All typical vegetative organs are absent and many tissues are highly modified
(University Of Chicago Press, 2010-01)
The vegetative body of Lophophytum leandrii is a ‘‘tuber’’ that completely lacks all vegetative organs typically found in photosynthetic plants. Tubers have a warty surface zone composed of parenchyma cells and brachysclereids; ...
Biological notes on two species of Oxycorynus (Coleoptera: Belidae) associated with parasitic plants of the genus Lophophytum (Balanophoraceae), and new distribution records in ArgentinaNotas biológicas sobre dos especies de Oxycorynus (Coleoptera: Belidae) asociadas con plantas parásitas del género Lophophytum (Balanophoraceae), y nuevos registros de distribución en Argentina
(Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2011-12)
This contribution provides new information on the association of weevils of the genus Oxycorynus Chevrolat (Belidae: Oxycoryninae) with parasitic plants of the genus Lophophytum Schott & Endl. (Balanophoraceae). New ...
Análisis evolutivo y genético de plantas parásitas del género Lophophytum
(Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, 2016)
Root parasitism by Scybalium fungiforme Schott & Endl. is not random among host species in seasonal tropical forest
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2020-01-01)
Though they comprise 1 % of plant species on the planet, plant parasites are poorly known. They have been considered a threat to cultivated plants and to the conservation of host species in natural areas. Due to the complex ...
