Hemiparasitic plants display a unique strategy of resource acquisition combining parasitism of other species and own photosynthetic activity. Despite the active photoassimilation and green habit, they acquire substantial amount of carbon from their hosts. The organic carbon transfer has a crucial influence on the nature of the interaction between hemiparasites and their hosts which can oscillate between parasitism and competition for light. In this minireview, we summarize methodical approaches and results of various studies dealing with carbon budget of hemiparasites and the ecological implications of carbon heterotrophy in hemiparasites.
半寄生植物表现出一种独特的资源获取策略，将寄生其他物种和自身光合作用结合在一起。尽管具有积极的光合作用和绿色习性，它们还是从宿主那里获取大量的碳。有机碳的转移对半寄生植物与其宿主之间的相互作用性质有着至关重要的影响，这种相互作用可以在寄生和对光的竞争之间波动。在这篇综述中，我们总结了涉及半寄生植物碳预算和半寄生植物碳异养生态意义的各种研究的方法和结果。
