		The evolution and expression of rbcL in holoparasitic sister genera, harveya hook.
		Harveya and Hyobanche (Orobanchaceae) are holoparasitic genera native to southern Africa.
		Molecular sequence data from the chloroplast and nucleus were used to test hypothesized relationships among these species, and the evolution of floral characteristics, host-plant ranges, and geographical origins.

	Orobanchaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orobanchaceae, or the broomrape family, is a family of flowering plants of the order Lamiales, with about 25 genera and more than 200 species.
		This family has no economic importance, except for some species being harmful to feed crops.
		Lathraea has traditionally been placed in the Orobanchaceae, but some recent evidence suggests it should be transferred to the Scrophulariaceae.

		We present a phylogenetic hypothesis for parasitic Scrophulari-aceae and Orobanchaceae based on sequences of the plastid gene rps2, encoding the S2 subunit of the plastid ribosome.
		Parasitic Scrophulariaceae and Orobanchaceae form a mono-phyletic group in which parasitism can be inferred to have evolved once.
		Parasitic Scrophu-lariaceae (including the traditional Orobanchaceae) provide a rich platform for the investigation of molecular evolutionary process, gene function, and the evolution of parasitism.

		The genera with parasitic tendencies were transferred to the Orobanchaceae.
		Even the common name of the family has been involved with this systematic shake-up; "figwort" is the common name for Scrophularia and stays with the now smaller family.
		The Orobanchaceae has retained its common name of the "broomrape" family, the common name for Orobanche itself.

	OROBANCHE - THE BROOMRAPES by Larry W. Mitich
		OROBANCHACEAE, the broomrape family, comprises approximately 150 species in 17 genera.
		Four genera represented by four species occur in the southeastern U.S. A majority of the genera and about 90% of the species in OROBANCHACEAE are Old World natives.
		The family is primarily one of the northern warm and temperate zones.

		In general, holoparasites tend to have leaves reduced to scales (or absent in Hydnoraceae), succulent stems, and a primary haustorium (derived from the seedling radicle).
		For example, Orobanchaceae are most specialized in a number of endemic genera in South Africa, followed by the Southeastern United States (open, fire-maintained communities), and the Alps of Central Europe (open grasslands).
		In the past, the hemiparasitic members of this family were classified as part of Scrophulariaceae (the figwort family) while the holoparasitic members were included in Orobanchaceae (the broomrape family).

		In terms of parasitic members, all were placed within Orobanchaceae that included Buchnereae and Rhinantheae (Scrophulariaceae) and the conventional Orobanchaceae.
		Although parasitism was gained only once, these data indicate that the loss of photosynthesis has occurred on at least five occassions.
		The tree below is a phylogenetic reconstruction of parasitic Scrophulariaceae (part of strict consensus tree) based on a parsimony analysis of the gene rbcL - a photosynthetic gene found in the chloroplast genome.

		The broomrape family (Orobanchaceae), sometimes classified as a root parasitic lineage of the figworts (Family Scrophulariaceae), includes the fairly large genus Orobanche, which occurs in most regions of the world.
		The former are photosynthetic plants that obtain water and dissolved nutrients via haustorial connections to their host roots.
		The holoparasites (many of which were formerly classified in Orobanchaceae) are nonphotosynthetic and obtain not only water and nutrients from their hosts but also organic compounds from the phloem.

		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.
		Unlike holoparasitic plants (e.g., Orobanchaceae), there is no direct contact of the parasite with its host plant.
