Instead, they develop a haustorium that grows into the host tissues, from which they absorb water and nutrients (Kuijt 1988). The seeds are covered with a sticky substance, and after being excreted in bird droppings, they adhere to the bark of the host. The seed contains endosperm, and the fused cotyledons do not emerge from the seed but obtain nutrients from the endosperm within the seed. During germination, a haustorium elongates from the seed. The tip of the haustorium forms a haustorial disc, which either closely adheres to the host tissue or penetrates it by breaking down the tissue and then extends internally. The haustorium is hypothesized to be a modified hypocotyl (Bhatnagar and Johri 1983) or root-shoot mosaic (Teixeira-Costa 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tristerix-aphyllus_3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tristerix-aphyllus_3.jpeg\" alt=\"Tristerix aphyllus\" class=\"wp-image-1475\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-1: Photo by tomas1309, https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/488472787, CC BY-NC<br><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-2: Photo by Jorge Herreros de Lartundo, https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/346919105, CC BY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tristerix <\/em><em>aphyllus<\/em>\u306f\u30c1\u30ea\u4e2d\u90e8\u306b\u5206\u5e03\u3057\uff08Amico et al. 2007)\u3001\u59c9\u59b9\u7a2e\u3067\u3042\u308b<em>T<\/em>. <em>corymbosus<\/em>\uff08Amico et al. 2007)\u3092\u542b\u3080\u4ed6\u306e<em>Tristerix<\/em>\u5c5e\u306e\u7a2e\u3068\u7570\u306a\u308b\u5f62\u614b\u3092\u793a\u3059\u3002<em>T<\/em>.<em> aphyllus<\/em>\u3092\u9664\u304f<em>Tristerix<\/em>\u5c5e\u306e\u7a2e\u306f\u3001\u5149\u5408\u6210\u53ef\u80fd\u306a\u8449\u3092\u4ed8\u3051\u305f\u30b7\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u3092\u5f62\u6210\u3059\u308b\u534a\u5bc4\u751f\u690d\u7269\u3067\u3042\u308b\u306e\u306b\u5bfe\u3057\u3001<em>T. aphyllus<\/em>\u306f\u6804\u990a\u30b7\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u3092\u5f62\u6210\u305b\u305a\u8449\u3092\u5f62\u6210\u3057\u306a\u3044\u5168\u5bc4\u751f\u690d\u7269\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>T. aphyllus<\/em>\u306f\u30b5\u30dc\u30c6\u30f3\u79d1\u690d\u7269\u306b\u5bc4\u751f\u3059\u308b\u552f\u4e00\u306e\u5bc4\u751f\u88ab\u5b50\u690d\u7269\u3067\u3042\u308a\uff08Ossa et al. 2021)\u3001\u5bc4\u4e3b\u3068\u3057\u3066<em>Leucostele<\/em> (ex <em>Trichocereus <\/em>or<em> Echinopsis<\/em>)\u304a\u3088\u3073<em>Eulychnia<\/em>\u304c\u77e5\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\uff08Mauseth 1990, Amico et al. 2007)\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u4e00\u822c\u306b\u534a\u5bc4\u751f\u690d\u7269\u306f\u3001\u70ad\u6c34\u5316\u7269\u3092\u5149\u5408\u6210\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u81ea\u3089\u751f\u7523\u3057\u3001\u5438\u5668\u3092\u5bbf\u4e3b\u306e\u5c0e\u7ba1\u306b\u63a5\u7d9a\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3067\u6c34\u5206\u3068\u7121\u6a5f\u5869\u985e\u3092\u5f97\u308b\uff08Teixeira-Costa 2021)\u3002\u4e00\u65b9\u3001\u5168\u5bc4\u751f\u306e<em>T. <\/em><em>aphyllus<\/em>\u3067\u306f\u3001\u5438\u5668\u304c\u5c0e\u7ba1\u306b\u52a0\u3048\u3066\u7be9\u7ba1\u306b\u3082\u63a5\u7d9a\u3057\u3001\u5bbf\u4e3b\u7be9\u7ba1\u7d30\u80de\u304b\u3089\u70ad\u6c34\u5316\u7269\u3001\u30a2\u30df\u30ce\u9178\u3001\u8102\u80aa\u9178\u306a\u3069\u306e\u6709\u6a5f\u7269\u3092\u5f97\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3068\u8003\u3048\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\uff08Mauseth et al. 1985)\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tristerix aphyllus <\/em>occurs in central Chile (Amico et al. 2007) and exhibits a morphology distinct from other species of <em>Tristerix<\/em>, including its sister species <em>Tristerix <\/em><em>corymbosus<\/em><em> <\/em>(Amico et al. 2007). Whereas <em>Tristerix<\/em> species other than <em>T. aphyllus<\/em> are hemiparasites that produce shoots bearing photosynthetic leaves, <em>T. aphyllus<\/em> is a holoparasite that forms no vegetative shoots and bears no leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the only angiosperm parasitic plant known to parasitize members of the Cactaceae (Ossa et al. 2021). <em>Leucostele<\/em> (ex <em>Trichocereus <\/em>or<em> Echinopsis<\/em>) and <em>Eulychnia<\/em> are known as hosts (Mauseth 1990; Amico et al. 2007).

In contrast, in the holoparasite <em>T. aphyllus<\/em>, the haustorium connects not only to the xylem but also to the phloem, and it is thought to obtain organic compounds such as carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids from host phloem cells (Mauseth et al. 1985).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tristerix-aphyllus_4-1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tristerix-aphyllus_4-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Tristerix aphyllus\" class=\"wp-image-1477\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-3: Photo by Diego Almendras G., https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/335623362, CC BY-NC<br><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-4: Photo by Fernando Useros L\u00f3pez, https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/172223499, CC BY-NC<br><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-5: Photo by Lorenzo Vega, https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/113712543, CC BY-NC<br><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-6: Photo by Benito Rosende, https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/28013312, CC BY-NC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u5438\u5668\u306f\u5bbf\u4e3b\u306e\u67d4\u7d44\u7e54\u306b\u5e83\u304c\u308a\u3001\u82b1\u671f\u306b\u306a\u308b\u3068\u3001\u5bbf\u4e3b\u8868\u9762\u304b\u3089\u82b1\u5e8f\u3092\u4f38\u9577\u3057\uff08\u5de6\u4e0a\u5199\u771f\uff09\u3001\u5206\u5c90\u3057\uff08\u5de6\u4e0b\u5199\u771f\uff09\u3001\u958b\u82b1\u3057\uff08\u53f3\u4e0a\u5199\u771f\uff09\u3001\u7d50\u5b9f\u3059\u308b\uff08\u53f3\u4e0b\u5199\u771f\uff09\u3002\u4ed6\u306e<em>Tristerix<\/em>\u5c5e\u306e\u7a2e\u3068\u540c\u69d8\u306b\u3001\u30cf\u30c1\u30c9\u30ea\u5a92\u82b1\u3067\u3042\u308b\uff08Amico et al. 2007)\u3002\u7a2e\u5b50\u306f\u9ce5\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u6563\u5e03\u3055\u308c\u308b\uff08Amico et al. 2007; Ossa et al. 2021)\u3002\u7a2e\u5b50\u767a\u82bd\u306b\u306f\u679c\u76ae (epicarp) \u304c\u53d6\u308a\u9664\u304b\u308c\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u5fc5\u8981\u3060\u304c\u3001\u9ce5\u306b\u6442\u98df\u3055\u308c\u6d88\u5316\u3055\u308c\u308b\u5fc5\u8981\u306f\u306a\u3044\uff08Mauseth 1985)\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The haustorium spreads within the host\u2019s parenchymatous tissues.

For germination, removal of epicarp is required, but ingestion and digestion by birds are not necessary (Mauseth 1985).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tristerix-aphyllus_5.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tristerix-aphyllus_5.jpeg\" alt=\"Tristerix aphyllus\" class=\"wp-image-1478\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-7: Photo by kavm01, https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/538791181, CC BY-NC<br><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>-8: Photo by Francisco Riquelme Tapia, https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/photos\/419928062, CC BY-NC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>\u306e\u7a2e\u5b50\u3082\u4ed6\u306e<em>Tristerix<\/em>\u5c5e\u306e\u7a2e\u3068\u540c\u69d8\u306b\u3001\u5b50\u8449\u304c\u7a2e\u5b50\u306e\u5916\u306b\u51fa\u305a\u3001\u7a2e\u5b50\u5185\u3067\u80da\u4e73\u304b\u3089\u6804\u990a\u3092\u5f97\u308b\u3002\u767a\u82bd\u6642\u306b\u306f\u3001\u5148\u7aef\u306b\u5438\u5668\u76e4\u3092\u3082\u3064\u5438\u5668\u304c\u4f38\u9577\u3059\u308b\u3002\u305f\u3060\u3057\u3001<em>T. aphyllus<\/em>\u306f\u539a\u3044\u30af\u30c1\u30af\u30e9\u5c64\u3092\u6301\u3064\u30b5\u30dc\u30c6\u30f3\u306b\u5bc4\u751f\u3059\u308b\u305f\u3081\u3001\u7279\u6b8a\u306a\u65b9\u6cd5\u3067\u5438\u5668\u7d44\u7e54\u3092\u5bbf\u4e3b\u306b\u4fb5\u5165\u3055\u305b\u308b\u3002 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeds of <em>Tristerix aphyllus<\/em>, like those of other species of <em>Tristerix<\/em>, have cotyledons that do not emerge from the seed but instead obtain nutrients from the endosperm within the seed.

The surface of the haustorium is densely covered with multiseriate trichomes composed of several cell rows. When the haustorium is positioned over a stoma, these multiseriate trichomes elongate toward the stoma and pass through the opening between the guard cells. Because a substomatal cavity is present, the trichomes can reach the palisade cortex without penetrating the thick-walled, rigid hypodermal layer, and subsequently spread into the cortex palisade, cortex, phloem, and xylem (Mauseth 1985). How the multiseriate trichomes recognize the position of stomata and enter the stomatal cavity remains unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When seeds were artificially sown onto Leucostele chiloensis (ex <em>Echinopsis chilensis<\/em>), inflorescences were reported to emerge 17 months after infection (Botto-Mahan 2000).
