The Making of a Parasitic Plant: Caitlin Conn (Berry College)

[@kimberlykellett8973]

Excellent work and clearly presented! Great talk by Dr. Conn, a parasitic plant expert. The built in questions are great for classroom use. She talks clearly and at a good speed so that students have time to absorb what she is saying.

An excellent talk, very well presented by Dr Conn. Very enjoyable!

Excellent video and topic. Very helpful information and it's appreciated. Nicely laid out to comprehend, even if a person was new to plant parasitism in biology. For me, you took a subject I knew of and still impressed me with new information! 4:44 Below: I couldn't help myself. It's what I thought of and you asked. 😉 [Mutualism] Citizens/Orgs+ - Decentralized & Autonomous, helping others/each other [Commensalism] Industry/Citizens/Gov/Orgs+ - Utilization of resources to skillfully obtain better opportunities or talent, positive solutions/outcomes from interactions, etc. [Parasitism] Medical/health industry only promoting pharma concoctions vs promoting overall betterment of health. Economically large persons controlling citizens/small-med businesses market, opportunities, and livelihoods (Great Reset as an example). Greed/ego drives repeated evolution of parasitism. History of cheaters.

Great lecture! One little issue at 8:55. Of the three mycohetertrophs shown, only two are orchids. The middle one, Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora) is in the Ericaceae.

Ah! You are absolutely right; thank you for catching that!

I think it's a good lesson they, in what you're saying and teaching and lecturing can be good for us as people when we learn about these parasitic plants we can also learn about other plants defense system systems that can probably B useful or certain developments that we are discovering in this time thanks for the video we appreciate it, bless you and nice teaching a nice Clarity in your voice is great.

When I was a youngster, my dad gave me some pre-prepared, stained slides to examine with my microscope. I remember being fascinated and just a tiny bit horrified by a slide labelled "Dodder & Heath" (the latter may have been heath milkwort) with one plant's cells invading and commingling with another's.

Is there playlist on palaeontology and human reproduction etc

[@subhadipdas2482]

Wowww 🌟

[@KingofBiology2100]

Great👍

[@sanjaysharma2944]

Nice dear

[@cynocephalusw]

There is a preadaption by proximity in the dodder ancestors. Proximity is necessary for all parasitic entities. A virus one Millimeter away from me is no threat.

Crank the speed up to 1.75x normal speed. The presenter talks too slowly.
