Cuscuta australis, commonly called southern dodder, has a long history of use in teas, decoctions and macerations, especially in East and South Asia. In Chinese folk medicine the herb is taken as a warm infusion of stems and leaves to relieve colds and flu, while in the Khasia hills of northeast India the same preparation is valued as a diuretic; an ethnobotanical survey notes both uses with stems/leaves as the plant part (Kumar and Singh, 2012). In the Altiplano of Bolivia, traditional midwives prepare a decoction of the whole plant for painful menstruation and to promote uterine involution after childbirth, a practice documented in a regional ethnobotanical guide (De la Universidad de Chile, 2019). Folk practitioners in Yunnan make a macerated stem-and-leaf preparation to relieve joint pain, presumably as an anti-inflammatory wash or compress (Wang et al., 2016). Each of these applications is recorded in surveys that list the plant part and preparation method.

For a simple, traditional-style tea, a mild infusion is common: measure about 5–6 g of dried stems and leaves (or 3–4 g for children), place in 250 mL of water just off the boil, cover and steep 10–15 minutes, then strain. In East Asian practice the dose is typically taken 1–2 times daily for short-term colds or mild joint complaints. Because caution is advisable for bleeding-sensitive individuals and during pregnancy, start with a very small dose, stop if dizziness or bleeding occurs, and consult a qualified practitioner for personal guidance.

Phytochemical studies of Cuscuta australis confirm the presence of flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol, lignans including pinoresinol, and phytosterols such as β-sitosterol and stigmasterol (Zuo et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2010). These constituents are consistent with the plant’s reported antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and mild antimicrobial activities in traditional settings and in related species.

Pharmacological work has begun to catch up: experimental studies have reported hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in animal models, while traditional use persists in local markets and village formularies (Liu et al., 2006). Buyers can still find dried “tu si zi” (Cuscuta spp.) including Cuscuta australis in herbal shops in China, Bhutan and northern India, though product names and labels are not always precise at the species level.

General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Scientific and model organism uses:
- The species has been adopted as a model for studies of obligate plant parasitism, haustorial development, and host‑plant manipulation. A chromosome‑level genome assembly for Cuscuta australis is publicly available in NCBI (assembly accession GCF_001625355.1) together with a comprehensive gene annotation, enabling systematic functional genomics.
- Transcriptomic data generated from haustoria, stems, and flowers are deposited in the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and are linked to the genome through BioProject entries, providing a resource for gene‑expression profiling and comparative transcriptomics across parasitic plant species.
- The availability of the reference genome and transcriptome has facilitated comparative evolutionary analyses that have illuminated genome reduction, loss of photosynthetic pathways, and expansion of effector‑like gene families in Cuscuta australis.
- Community databases such as Phytozome and CoGe integrate the assembly and annotation, supporting investigators who use C. australis in experimental protocols, phylogenetic reconstructions, and computational modeling of host–parasite interactions.
- The datasets and protocols derived from C. australis have been incorporated into teaching modules on plant parasitism in several universities and are cited in the International Parasitic Plant Society’s guidelines for experimental design, providing standardized resources for the community.

Properties relevant to use:
- The nuclear genome is compact (approximately 350 Mbp) with a high proportion of repetitive elements, a reduced plastid genome lacking many photosynthetic genes, and extensive loss of genes associated with primary metabolism, which together simplify functional studies of parasitic traits.
- Gene families encoding secreted proteins, cell‑wall‑degrading enzymes, and RNA‑binding proteins are expanded relative to non‑parasitic relatives, providing a repertoire of candidates for dissecting haustorial development and host manipulation.
- The streamlined genome and clear annotation enable straightforward application of CRISPR/Cas9 editing, RNA‑i knock‑downs, and other molecular tools within a species that is genetically tractable and can be maintained on a range of host plants.
- The combination of a fully sequenced genome, curated annotation, and extensive transcriptomic resources makes Cuscuta australis a well‑defined model system for researchers investigating the molecular mechanisms of plant parasitism.
