The parasite attaches to and feeds off its host using a haustorium, which also facilitates the transport of various molecules between the parasite and its host. These translocation molecules have received extensive attention from researchers. In this review, we summarize the existing knowledge on the transfer of molecules such as pathogens, herbicides, RNAs, and proteins between parasitic plants and their hosts, and discuss their potential implications. Additionally, we provide an overview of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between species, which is particularly evident in the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, with some transgenes assumed to have functional roles in their recipient species, offering new insights into the evolution of parasitic plants. Finally, we discuss the significance of parasitic plant research and the development of future research technologies to advance our understanding of plant parasitism.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2025.1716304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T06:30:32Z","timestamp":1765175432000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Molecular translocation between parasitic plants and their hosts"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yuchao","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huilan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shenghu","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyan","family":"Gan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianguo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/plants12030464","article-title":"Protein Profiling of Psittacanthus calyculatus during Mesquite Infection","volume":"12","author":"Aguilar-Venegas","year":"2023","journal-title":"Plants"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/plants12071447","article-title":"Host resistance to parasitic plants\u2014Current knowledge and future perspectives","volume":"12","author":"Albanova","year":"2023","journal-title":"Plants"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1447","DOI":"10.4161\/psb.5.9.12675","article-title":"Calcium signaling during the plant-plant interaction of parasitic Cuscuta reflexa with its hosts","volume":"12","author":"Albert","year":"2020","journal-title":"Plant Signal.
