If you've ever lived in a humid state it wouldn't seem strange. Every freakin thing has mold or fungus growing on it down in the humid hot south.

You could always run the same experiment twice over, in different places, one with tween and one without.

If shaking it up with ultrasound can clean the plants of fungus, maybe loud music or simple jostling would aid transfer. I hear plants like music anyway.

I suppose playing Revolution and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by them would not hurt.
Good point about the transfer though!
I really wish I could acquire some live dodder or better seeds though... Any ideas on how I might do that? I've tried to contact people all over the freaking place to get that stuff too me and I have had no success.

Relevant IMO
Talks about the transfer of viruses, phytoplasms, and molecules from Tobacco to Dodder and vice versa.

Update: Picture of plants now, first one is the general growth of the plant. The second one is the tiny little dodder that is growing on it but apparently not attaching itself.
I am going to try to trick the dodder into feasting on its Convolvulaceae relatives by dropping a bit of juice from alfalfa, and tomato leaf (and maybe others) onto the stem of the plants.
