and cultivation of 111 species of terrestrial aquatic and parasitic plants included on the Federal Noxious Weed List.

The fire tree (Morella faya) a canopy tree from Macaronesia that boosts nitrogen levels in the soil making it inhospitable to native species

By counting the number of post-fire tree seedlings in their plots the researchers found very little beetle-related impact.

'Westwood examined the relationship between a parasitic plant dodder and two host plants Arabidopsis and tomatoes.

Through this exchange the parasitic plants may be dictating what the host plant should do such as lowering its defenses

so that the parasitic plant can more easily attack it. Westwood's next project is aimed at finding out exactly

Parasitic plants such as witchweed and broomrape are serious problems for legumes and other crops that help feed some of the poorest regions in Africa
