半寄生植物(hemiparasite )，具有光合能力，不完全依靠寄主植物亦能生存的，而生长所需要的水份和矿物质则全部来自寄主。 如檀香属(Santalum )、独角金属(Striga)和槲寄生属(Viscum)等。

hemiparasite. A parasite that photosynthesizes. holoparasite. A parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesize. mistletoe. Parasites of the closely related families Loranthaceae or Viscaceae with haustoria that originate as root tissue and penetrate stems or roots (in Loranthaceae) of the host plants. mycotrophic ...

2022年8月30日 · Always check for new plants in the garden before assuming your landscape is simply old or ill, as recovery could be as simple as killing the hemiparasite that’s making it difficult for your plant to get enough nutrients.

2018年6月8日 · hemiparasite (semiparasite) 1. A parasitic plant that lacks a fully developed root system and forms connections with another plant, from which it obtains some or all of its water and minerals. Such plants have chlorophyll and produce their own food by photosynthesis, and in some cases are capable of limited growth in the absence of the host plant.

Hemiparasitic plants have an ambiguous relationship with their hosts which, on the one hand, represent exclusive sources of inorganic nutrients but on the other hand, the co-occurrence of these host plants in the hemiparasite vicinity imposes competition for light.

Rhinanthus (e.g. Yellow rattle) is a facultative root hemiparasite. Mistletoe is an obligate stem hemiparasite. Holoparasites are always obligate so only two terms are needed, e.g.

Mistletoe is a hemiparasite normally found on the branches of a variety of trees. It can live either as a parasite or as a perennial plant capable of photosynthesis, and it has white or translucent berries that can be quite sticky.

Similar to holoparasites, these haustoria penetrate the host plant’s tissues to access water and nutrients. However, the relationship is often less detrimental to the host compared to holoparasitic plants, as the hemiparasite can also photosynthesize and doesn’t rely entirely on the host for survival. Impact of Hemiparasitic Plants on ...

Hemiparasite litter often has concentrations of foliar nutrients higher than their hosts, typically being two- to fourfold greater for N and P (Quested et al. 2003a). Their litter has been found to decompose faster and release nutrients more rapidly than litter of co-occurring species and to stimulate the decomposition of more recalcitrant ...

Hemiparasite: A plant that derives some of its nutrients from a host plant while also being capable of photosynthesis.
