Comparative Metabolomics of Early Development of the Parasitic Plants <em>Phelipanche aegyptiaca</em> and <em>Triphysaria versicolor</em>

Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae attach to the roots of host plants via haustoria capable of drawing nutrients from host vascular tissue. The connection of the haustorium to the host marks a shift in parasite metabolism from autotrophy to at least partial heterotrophy, depending on the le...
