[1] The word liana does not refer to a taxonomic grouping, but rather a habit of plant growth – much like tree or shrub.
Host–parasite coevolution may also affect the underlying genetics, for example by favouring increased mutation rates in the host. [27] Tropical tree and liana interactions have also been the subject of study. Here lianas have been viewed as hyper-diverse generalist macro-parasites that affect host survival by parasitising on the host's ...
The second hurdle is the host's ability to secrete germination inhibitors. This prevents germination of the parasitic seed. The third hurdle is the host's ability to create a toxic environment at the location where the parasitic plant attaches. The host secretes phenolic compounds into the apoplast. This creates a toxic environment for the ...
