| Video Discription | Parasitic plants Dodder. Not all plants contain chlorophyll or possess leaves or even roots. There are always the exceptions to be found in the natural world. Dodder is such a parasitic plant. Able to obtain all of its food in order to reproduce, without the aid of doing anything other than sucking the life out of it's host, another plant. Like some crazy Sci Fi movie, the Dodder parasite merges with it's host where the Dodder's tissues are almost indistinguishable from the host tissue except for that trained eye.The only real plant like thing about Dodder is it's capacity to flower like normal flowering plants hence producing seed for the next generation. The Dodder's seeds are special too, they tend to germinate in the height of Summer and not spring. The small seedlings are able to withstand almost desiccating conditions which would kill all but cacti. This capacity for survival really gives this parasitic plant an advantage. Like many parasites, a common feature is that it doesn't kill its host but merely weakens it. Seed is almost microscopic and can be transported thousands of miles via unwary human or animal vectors. Although the Dodder can infect numerous plants from the smallest of small to entire trees in some instances, not all plants are susceptible. Plants can resist it's attack by producing compounds known as phytoalexins. Numerous species of Dodder are known. |
