Prehaustoria of root hemiparasites <i>Rhinanthus minor</i> and <i>Odontites vernus</i> (Orobanchaceae) produce lignin-rich interfacial deposits closely resembling those of attached haustoria
LIDs at haustorium-host interfaces may at least partly be attributed to the parasite and benefit the establishment and functioning of the haustorium. A reinterpretation of the origin and role of interfacial lignin in parasitic plant-host interactions may therefore be necessary.
