“…It parasitises Artemisia spp., mainly A. campestris L., and grows in the habitats of the host (steppes, rocky grasslands and sandy areas). This broomrape is very rare or extinct in most of its original localities at the western limit of its distribution (Piwowarczyk and Przemyski, 2009).…”

Several parasitic plants are known to have acquired mitochondrial genes via a horizontal transfer from their hosts. However, mitochondrial gene transfer in this direction has not yet been found in the parasite-rich family Orobanchaceae. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial atp6 gene in selected species of Orobanche s.l., we provide evidence of a host-to-parasite transfer of this gene in O. coerulescens, which is a Eurasiatic species that parasitises Artemisia (Asteraceae). We did not find the original Orobanche atp6 gene in this species, which suggests that it has been replaced by a gene that was acquired from Asteraceae. In addition, our data suggest the occurrence of a second HGT event in the atp6 sequence -from Asteraceae to Phelipanche. Our results support the view that the transfer of genetic material from hosts to parasites influences the mitochondrial genome evolution in the latter.

“…In Poland the holoparasitic genus Orobanche L. (Orobanchaceae) contains 19 species, including two ephemerophytes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. These taxa are protected and their majority grow at rare and threatened localities.…”

A b s t r a c tThe paper presents the current distribution of Orobanche caryophyllacea Sm. in Poland based on a critical revision of herbarium and literature data as well as the results of my field studies. The majority of localities are in south and south-eastern Poland: Ma opolska Upland, Lublin Upland, Roztocze, Przemy l Foothills, Pieniny Mts, rarely in the valleys of the Lower Vistula and Oder rivers or Wolin island. The distribution map in Poland is included. The taxonomy, biology and ecology of the species are discussed.

“…In Europe it grows in dry and semi-dry meadows, steppes, xerothermic grasslands, cultivated fields, and xerothermic shrubs. It colonizes warm alkaline and sandy soils, often rendzinas, on dolomite, chalk, limestone, and basalt bedrocks (Kreutz 1995;Uhlich et al 1995;Hemp 1996;Z•zvorka 2000;Piwowarczyk & Przemyski 2009). In Asia it prefers steppes, rocky or grassy slopes, grasslands, cultivated fields, deserts, sandy hillsides, or areas along rivers and near seashores (Zoku 1965;Tolmaczev 1974;Charkevicz 1996;Zhiyun & Tzvelev 1998;SatÛ 2004).…”

Orobanche coerulescens has a Eurasian distribution. The species is classified as extinct at most of its localities at the western limit of its range. Its populations are very scarce and critically endangered in Central Europe. This work presents the current distribution of O.coerulescens in Poland, based on a critical revision of herbarium and literature data as well as results of original field research, and reviews its distribution in Central Europe (partly in Eastern Europe). Habitats, plant communities, and migration routes of O.coerulescens in Central Europe are discussed. The species was initially known in Poland from now historical localities in Pomerania and the valley of the lower Vistula. In 2000-2011 it was recorded at 9 localities in Podlasie, the Małopolska Upland (Wyżyna Małopolska), and the Łódź Hills (Wzniesienia Łódzkie). Its abundance at the localities ranged from a few to over 1000 shoots. These are the largest populations of O.coerulescens at its western and north-western range limits.
