Abstract:The holoparasitic species Cuscuta planiflora Ten. (Convolvulaceae) parasitizes the Ni hyperaccumulator Odontarrhena muralis (Waldst. & Kit.) Endl. and a non‐hyperaccumulator, Sanguisorba minor Scop., in Bulgarian serpentine areas. This study investigated the host/parasite relationship to evaluate: (1) metal accumulation in different parts of the parasite and the host and (2) its potential threat to Ni phytomining/agromining by suppressing growth of the hyperaccumulator. Elemental concentrations in soil, sh… Show more
