Growth inhibition of arable weeds by cerato‐platanin, a plant immune defense activator of fungal origin

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6255-6264, October 2025.
Plants possess an innate immune system able to detect pathogens' molecules such as cerato‐platanin (CP), a protein produced by the fungus Ceratocystis platani. This study shows that the application of this protein elicitor to weeds can be exploited as a novel herbicide mode of action.

Screening of Secondary Metabolites Produced by Nigrospora sphaerica Associated with the Invasive Weed Cenchrus ciliaris Reveals Two New Structurally Related Compounds

open access: yesMolecules
In the search for new alternative biocontrol strategies, phytopathogenic fungi could represent a new frontier for weed management. In this respect, as part of our ongoing work aiming at using fungal pathogens as an alternative to common herbicides, the ...

RNAi technology development for weed control: all smoke and no fire?

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3430-3436, July 2025.
Despite the potential of Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in weed management several critical points such as molecular target, weed species of interest as well as delivery techniques need to be addressed. Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) technology, specifically Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), holds potential as an innovative approach for selective ...

Allelochemicals as Bioherbicides — Present and Perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Since the first implementation of synthetic herbicides in crop protection systems, weeds have continuously developed resistance. As a main reason of such evolution, long-lasting exploi‐ tation of herbicides with one target site in plants is considered.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
