Dodders (Cuscuta
spp., Convolvulaceae) are root- and leafless parasitic plants that parasitize a
wide range of hosts. C. australis genome harbors only 19671 protein-coding genes, and 11.7%
of the conserved orthologs in autotrophic plants are lost in
C. australis. Many of these gene loss
events likely result from its parasitic lifestyle and large body plan changes. This dataset include C. australis genome data and the phylogenetic analysis data for gene losses detection.
