Parasitic plants rely on the formation of specialized parasitic organs called haustoria to invade their hosts and withdraw nutrients. Currently, our knowledge is growing regarding how parasitic plants use haustoria to infect their hosts, modify their physiology and regulate infection. Important factors in plant development are hormone signaling molecules that play essential roles in how plants grow and interact with their surroundings. In recent years, major progress has been made in understanding the relevance of various hormones in plant parasitism. Here, we review recent findings in the field, focusing on the role of hormones in several stages of parasitism, including haustoria induction, vascular development, and interaction with the host. We discuss and compare how hormones influence haustoria development in different parasitic plant lifestyles and species, and identify knowledge gaps in the field. Future work on understanding how hormones influence parasitism is crucial to develop novel ways to control the damage caused by parasitic plants to agriculture, and to discover how parasitic plants efficiently connect to their hosts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/pcp\/pcaf132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,11]],"date-time":"2025-10-11T11:55:58Z","timestamp":1760183758000},"page":"414-426","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The role of hormones in parasitic plant infection"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"67","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0354-3434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna K","family":"van W\u00fcllen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Biology, Linnean Center for Plant Biology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences , Almas all\u00e9 5, 756 51 Uppsala ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4192-8027","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martina","family":"Leso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Biology, Linnean Center for Plant Biology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences , Almas all\u00e9 5, 756 51 Uppsala ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7714-7789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brikti Ferede","family":"Hailu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Arctic and Marine Biology, UiT The Arctic University of Troms\u00f8 , 9037 Troms\u00f8 ,","place":["Norway"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9739-2466","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kirsten","family":"Krause","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Arctic and Marine Biology, UiT The Arctic University of Troms\u00f8 , 9037 Troms\u00f8 ,","place":["Norway"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3251-800X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charles W","family":"Melnyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Biology, Linnean Center for Plant Biology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences , Almas all\u00e9 5, 756 51 Uppsala ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026052210523846900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1774","DOI":"10.1111\/nph.20140","article-title":"Agrobacterium-mediated Cuscuta campestris transformation as a tool for understanding plant-plant interactions","volume":"245","author":"Adhikari","year":"2025","journal-title":"New Phytol."},{"key":"2026052210523846900_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0317347","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0317347","article-title":"An efficient rhizobium rhizogenes-mediated transformation system for Cuscuta campestris","volume":"20","author":"Alles","year":"2025","journal-title":"PLoS ONE"},{"key":"2026052210523846900_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1446","DOI":"10.1093\/pcp\/pcac130","article-title":"Cytokinins induce prehaustoria Coordinately with quinone signals in the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica","volume":"63","author":"Aoki","year":"2022","journal-title":"Plant Cell Physiol."},{"key":"2026052210523846900_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2326","DOI":"10.1111\/nph.19495","article-title":"The penetration of sunflower root tissues by the parasitic plant Orobanche cumana is intracellular","volume":"241","author":"Auriac","year":"2024","journal-title":"New Phytol."},{"key":"2026052210523846900_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3390\/metabo13080884","article-title":"Biosynthetic pathways of hormones in plants","volume":"13","author":"Bajguz","year":"2023","journal-title":"Metabolites"},{"key":"2026052210523846900_ref6","first-page":"100815","article-title":"Manipulation of a strigolactone transporter in tomato confers resistance to the parasitic weed broomrape","volume":"6","author":"Ban","year":"2025","journal-title":"Innovation (Camb.)"},{"key":"2026052210523846900_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1445-6664.2008.00280.x","article-title":"Methyl jasmonate and methyl salicylate, but not cis-jasmone, evoke defenses against infection of Arabidopsis thaliana by Orobanche aegyptiaca","volume":"8","author":"Bar-Nun","year":"2008","journal-title":"Weed Biol.
