摘      要：Horizontal gene transfer(HGT) refers to the flow of genetic materials to non-offspring,and occasionally HGT in plants can improve the adaptation of organisms in new niches due to expanded metabolic *** are an important group of water-soluble red,purple,or blue secondary metabolites,whose diversity results from modification after the main skeleton *** is a stem holoparasitic genus,whose members form direct connection with hosts to withdraw water,nutrients,and *** intimate association is thought to increase the frequency of *** transcriptome screening for foreign genes in Cuscuta australis,we discovered that one gene encoding a putative anthocyanin acyltransferase gene of the BAHD family,which is likely to be involved in anthocyanin modification,was acquired by *** from Fabaceae through *** anthocyanin acyltransferase-like(AT-like) gene was confirmed to be present in the genome assembly of *** and the transcriptomes of Cuscuta *** higher transcriptional level in old stems is consistent with its putative function in secondary metabolism by stabilizing anthocyanin at neutral pH and thus HGT of this AT-like gene may have improved biotic and abiotic resistance of Cuscuta.
