Parasitic Plants Act Like Genetic Engineers by Stealing and Remodeling Useful Genes

Parasitic plants act like genetic engineers by stealing and remodeling useful genes

Many plant species parasitize other plants by latching on and taking the nutrients their hosts need to survive. But sometimes, plants steal more than nutrients; they take genes.
