Sieve Elements in Haustoria of Parasitic Angiosperms

  • Chapter
Sieve Elements

Abstract

The necessity for conducting elements within haustoria of phanerogamic parasites is obvious, especially since holoparasitic angiosperms lack roots and assimilatory organs. Water as well as organic substances must be taken up, therefore, by specialized haustoria (Kuijt 1969; Kollmann and Dörr 1987). The faster the parasite grows, the more efficient must be the cells developed specifically for nutrient transport.
