Lindenbergia muraria
Lindenbergia muraria
Lindenbergia muraria is a holoparasitic plant belonging to the Orobanchaceae family. While there are no traditional uses recorded for this species, it has been studied in relation to its genetic and molecular characteristics. A study identified 667 animal species associated with 130 species of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae plants from 76 countries, noting differential expression of expansin transcripts in Triphysaria versicolor roots and observing some changes in Lindenbergia muraria as well. Another study reported high plastome variation in a recently derived lineage of hemiparasitic plants, providing evidence for plastome evolution during the transition from autotrophy to heterotrophy. This research confirms monophyly of major clades in Orobanchaceae but finds uncertain relationships among key clades due to incongruence among markers. No significant safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Lindenbergia muraria.

What the science says
- The study identified 667 animal species associated with 130 species of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae plants from 76 countries.
- The study found that expansin transcripts were differentially expressed in Triphysaria versicolor roots in response to certain haustoria-inducing factors, with some changes also observed in Lindenbergia muraria.
- This study reports high plastome variation in a recently derived lineage of hemiparasitic plants, providing evidence for plastome evolution during the transition from autotrophy to heterotrophy.
- The study confirms monophyly of major clades in Orobanchaceae but finds uncertain relationships among key clades due to incongruence among markers.
