Description
Microbotryaceae are plant parasites that primarily infect flowers and leaves. They often cause noticeable deformities in their host plants, such as swollen stems or distorted flower parts. Some species in this group can transform plant ovaries into spore-filled structures. Microbotryaceae are known for their unique ability to mimic the appearance of their host's pollen, allowing them to spread more effectively.
