“…In this study, the total content of phenolic compounds was higher in leaves from branches with a low degree of mistletoe infestation and lower in leaves from branches with five to seven mistletoe bushes (high degree of infestation) compared to the control ( Table 3 ). It was shown in [ 23 , 36 ] that the infestation of T. guianensis trees by the mistletoe P. perrottetii caused no significant changes in the level of phenolic compounds in the leaves of the host trees but led to an increase in the level of tannins in non-infested host branches. Changes in the content of phenolic compounds in host trees may be associated with various processes in which these secondary metabolites are involved, particularly, maintenance of the redox status in the cell, lignification, signaling, and the initiation of systemic acquired resistance [ 37 ].…”

Mistletoe infestation leads to a decrease in the growth of woody plants, their longevity, and partial or complete drying of the top, as well as premature death. Various environmental stress factors, both abiotic and biotic, stimulate the formation of reactive oxygen species and the development of oxidative stress in plant tissues. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mistletoe (Viscum album L.) infestation on the response of the antioxidative defense system in leaves of small-leaved linden (Tilia cordata Mill.). Leaves from infested trees were taken from branches (i) without mistletoe, (ii) with 1–2 mistletoe bushes (low degree of infestation), and (iii) with 5–7 mistletoe bushes (high degree of infestation). The relative water content and the chlorophyll a and b contents in leaves from linden branches affected by mistletoe were significantly lower than those in leaves from non-infested trees and from host-tree branches with no mistletoe. At the same time, leaves from branches with low and high degrees of infestation had significantly higher electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide content, oxidized forms of ascorbic acid (dehydroascorbic and 2,3-diketogulonic acids), and oxidized glutathione. The results of principal component analysis show that the development of oxidative stress was accompanied by an increase in proline content and in superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activity. Several biochemical parameters (proline, ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and dehydroascorbate reductase) were found to be altered in leaves from host-tree branches with no mistletoe. This result indicates that the mistletoe infestation of trees not only causes local changes in the locations of hemiparasite attachment, but also affects the redox metabolism in leaves from other parts of the infested tree.

“…Phenolics such as flavonoids and tannins have been demonstrated to be involved in plant defense against plant parasites (Lozano-Baena et al 2007;Furlan et al 2019). One flavonoid elevated in infected T. loheri was quercetin 3-(2 g-xylosyl rutinoside), but its ecological importance is so far not understood, yet multiple studies extol its dietary benefits (Anand David et al 2016;Salehi et al 2020).…”

“…There are limited studies on the chemical ecology of plant parasite-host interactions (Wink and Witte 1993;Loveys et al 2001;Lozano-Baena et al 2007;Runyon et al 2009;Smith et al 2009;Clarke et al 2019;Furlan et al 2019;Mutuku et al 2020;Piwowarczyk et al 2020). Since these interactions are metabolically diverse, involving two species of plants that may share biochemical characteristics (Lozano-Baena et al 2007), chemical analysis is difficult (Allwood et al 2008).…”

“…As agricultural pests, there has been a drive to understand their chemical ecology, such as germination stimulants (Runyon et al 2009), to mitigate the economic impact of crop loss from these plant parasites. Other studies of these taxa (Lozano-Baena et al 2007;Furlan et al 2019) have examined the chemistry of host resistance to infection and determined that accumulation of phenolic compounds are toxic and suppressive to the parasite. An interplay between salicylates and jasmonates has also been shown to underlie effective plant defenses against insect herbivores, pathogens, and parasitic plants (Smith et al 2009).…”

Main conclusion Metabolites in Rafflesia-infected and non-infected Tetrastigma were compared which may have applications in Rafflesia propagation. Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, here reported for the first time in Vitaceae, were abundant in non-infected shoots and may be a form of defense. In Rafflesia-infected shoots, oxylipins, which mediate immune response, were elevated. Abstract Endemic to the forests of Southeast Asia, Rafflesia (Rafflesiaceae) is a genus of holoparasitic plants producing the largest flowers in the world, yet completely dependent on its host, the tropical grape vine, Tetrastigma. Rafflesia species are threatened with extinction, making them an iconic symbol of plant conservation. Thus far, propagation has proved challenging, greatly decreasing efficacy of conservation efforts. This study compared the metabolites in the shoots of Rafflesia-infected and non-infected Tetrastigma loheri to examine how Rafflesia infection affects host metabolomics and elucidate the Rafflesia infection process. Results from LC–MS-based untargeted metabolomics analysis showed benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were naturally more abundant in non-infected shoots and are here reported for the first time in the genus Tetrastigma, and in the grape family, Vitaceae. These metabolites have been implicated in plant defense mechanisms and may prevent a Rafflesia infection. In Rafflesia-infected shoots, oxygenated fatty acids, or oxylipins, and a flavonoid, previously shown involved in plant immune response, were significantly elevated. This study provides a preliminary assessment of metabolites that differ between Rafflesia-infected and non-infected Tetrastigma hosts and may have applications in Rafflesia propagation to meet conservation goals.
