		Cuscuta (Dodder) is a genus of about 100-170 species of yellow, orange or red (rarely green) parasitic plants.
		Formerly treated as the only genus in the family Cuscutaceae, recent genetic research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has shown that it is correctly placed in the family Convolvulaceae.
		The genus is found throughout the temperate to tropical regions of the world, with the greatest species diversity in subtropical and tropical regions; the genus becomes rare in cool temperate climates, with e.g.

	Cuscuta
		Dodder (Cuscuta) is a parasitic plant, the only genus in the family Cuscutaceae (sometimes placed in the family Convolvulaceae) in the order Solanales.
		A dodder seed sprouts, grows a short root and a long stem, and starts searching for a host.
		Dodder has no chlorophyll, so it must find a host or die.

	Cuscuta sp., Dodder, Lovevine, Strangleweed, Hellbind, Vegetable Spaghetti
		Large numbers of them twine over shrubbery to form blankets that look like masses of orange spaghetti (which gives it its common name, "vegetable spaghetti").
		Dodder is a member of the Morning-Glory Family (Convolvulaceae) in older references, and a member of the Dodder Family (Cuscutaceae) in the more recent publications and lacks sufficient chlorophyll in its buds, fruits and stems to manufacture food for itself, thus its "sap-sucking" ways.
		Only dodder seedlings have roots, its tangled stems are usually orange, but may be yellowish, whitish, or greenish or even tinged with red or purple.

	WeedAlert.com Weed Listing (Dodder)
		Dodder, an annual plant that consists of thin thread-like stems that are orange in color which attach to a host plant, belongs to the dodder (cuscutaceae) family, which includes many species.
		At one time dodder was classified in the morning glory family.
		Phenoxy herbicides have only shown limited control and again injury to the host plant can occur.

	Parasites - 06/2004
		They obtain water and nutrients from the host xylem and photosynthates from the host phloem.
		Within this group are the fleshy-stemmed holoparasites (holo = complete) in the Orobanchaceae family and the nonphotosynthetic annual vines in the Cuscutaceae family.
		The Orobanches are root parasites, and they have their parasitic connection with the roots of the host plant.

	Molecular Evolution Homepage
		One potential result of reduced selection for photosynthesis is that the genes involved in photosynthetic pigment biosynthetic pathways, light harvesting complexes, photoelectron transport chains, the manufacture of energy molecules, and carbon dioxide fixation may become nonfunctional.
		In general, the size of the plastid genome is greatly reduced in holoparasitic plants compared to their closest autotrophic relatives and many of the bioenergetic genes are deleted, sufficiently altered to be classified as pseudogenes or are presumably nonfunctional.
		Although there are at least seven independent lineages of nonphotosynthetic parasitic plants, little is known about the molecular evolution of genes coding for the photosynthetic apparatus.
