Abstract
The review explores parasitic plants' evolutionary success and adaptability, highlighting their widespread occurrence and emphasizing the role of an invasive organ called haustorium in nutrient acquisition from hosts. It discusses the genetic and physiological adaptations that facilitate parasitism, including horizontal gene transfer, and the impact of environmental factors like climate change on these relationships. It addresses the need for further research into parasitic plants' genomes and interactions with their hosts to better predict environmental changes' impacts.
