Plants of the #Rafflesiaceae (#Malpighiales, Rosids) are #biologically #interesting, but also morphologically striking and impressive. They include the largest #blossoms in the #plantkingdom. Although the flowers may be visually pleasing to the human observer, closer inspection reveals a familiar color palette, albeit for rather unpleasant reasons. It is reminiscent of dead flesh, i.e., #rotting #carcasses. This is an #evolved #strategy in which a plant imitates something both visually and through its activity (= #mimicry). Rafflesiaceae not only look like animal carcasses, but they also #smell like them. Through this mimicry, the plant attracts #carrionflies, which then carry out #pollination. The #seeds, on the other hand, are #dispersed by somewhat larger animals, such as #rodents. These plants are #endoparasites of the plant genus #Tetrastigma (#Vitaceae), meaning they do not photosynthesize or absorb nutrients from the soil. Instead, they are connected to their host and obtain photosynthetic products, minerals, and water from it. A rare example from this taxon is #Sapria #himalayana, which practices a strong form of this parasitism. It is connected to the phloem and xylem of the host plant via its root-like organs (#haustoria). It is widespread in the Eastern #Himalayas (see X link of W. Chen, 2025). The authors J. Molina et al. (2024) were the first to study the #microbial #partners of a species, namely #Rafflesia #speciosa, within the Rafflesiaceae. By comparing the bacterial fauna in sections of the host plant with that of Rafflesia seeds, they found that the seeds possess #bacterialprofiles that correspond to those of the host plant. According to the authors, these bacteria appear to have been #sequestered from the #host plant. © #StefanFWirth Berlin 24 December 2025 References: X link of W. Chen, 2025 https://t.co/gB91P5Qo3M J.

🌿#SpatialTranscriptomics has been extensively used to study mammalian cells; only a handful of studies have applied it to plants. Learn how researchers at the @EarlhamInst are pioneering #SpatialTranscriptomics in the #PlantKingdom using the MERSCOPE. 📖https://t.co/29XHkmq3MJ
