green vine of the parasitic dodder plant (Cuscuta) latching onto a host plant. Christian Hettenhausen et al. found that Cuscuta bridges between host plants facilitate the transfer of herbivoryinduced signals from attacked to unattacked host plants. The authors report that the jasmonic acid biosynthesis pathway is required to generate such interplant signaling, which elevates defensive metabolit...

Molecular systematic botany is expanding its role in forensic science. DNA based techniques have been used in criminal cases to place a suspect at the crime scene, as well as to identify strains of marijuana (1,2). These studies have used DNA obtained from individual plant specimens of a known species and have not had to overcome problems associated with DNA mixtures of unkown plant composition...
