Managing pigweed (Amaranthus spp.) in commercial tomato fields across a climate gradient

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract This study investigated the impact of climate variability on pigweed (Amaranthus spp.) management in processing tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fields across northern Israel, which span a climate gradient from semiarid to Mediterranean conditions.

Comparative gene expression analysis of differentiated terminal and lateral haustoria of the obligate root parasitic plant Phelipanche ramosa (Orobanchaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 360-366, March 2025.
The parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa thrives on a broad spectrum of cash crops over the Northern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, current management practices are inefficient in controlling its devastating impacts and spread. Here, valuable insights are provided on an understudied aspect of its biology, the formation of a feeding organ network on the ...

2D and 3D visualization of herbaceous plant–plant contact zones using high‐resolution X‐ray computed tomography (HRXCT)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 367-381, March 2025.
Parasitic plants that deprive crops of water and nutrients are an increasingly concerning food security issue, affecting the livelihood of millions of subsistence, small‐ and mid‐scale farmers. An in‐depth understanding of parasite–host interactions is required to develop species‐specific and ecologically sustainable parasite management methods.

The role of strigolactone structural diversity in the host specificity and control of Striga, a major constraint to sub‐Saharan agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 318-330, March 2025.
The parasitic weed Striga affects crops such as sorghum, maize, millet, and rice in over 40 countries on the African continent and negatively impacts the livelihood of over 300 million small‐holder farmers. Striga seeds can remain dormant in the soil for many years until they are triggered to germinate by germination stimulants, called strigolactones ...

Germination and Host Range of Branched Broomrape (\u3ci\u3eOrobanche ramosa\u3c/i\u3e) from Texas [PDF]

, 1984
The effect of temperature on the germination of Orobanche ramosa L., branched broomrape, was investigated by dividing the physiological stages leading to germination into discrete events: pretreatment, a period when the seed becomes receptive to ...

Parasitic success of the pathogenic plant Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel. (Orobanchaceae) differs in some re‐infected versus naïve tomato cultivars

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Plants are exposed to infection and predation by organisms from most kingdoms of life, including their own. Layers of molecular defence mechanisms have evolved to limit damage and disease from microbial and insect pathogens, and plants can also defend themselves against attack by members of their own kingdom.

Simple Modifications of Branched PEI Lead to Highly Efficient siRNA Carriers with Low Toxicity [PDF]

, 2008
Polymer carriers like PEI which proved their efficiency in DNA delivery were found to be far less effective for the applications with siRNA. In the current study, we generated a number of nontoxic derivates of branched PEI through modification of amines ...

Biosolarization as an alternative method to inhibit parasitic Phelipanche ramosa germination

Frontiers in Agronomy
Phelipanche ramosa, or branched broomrape, is a parasitic weed that attaches to the roots of host plants and can cause great agricultural losses, from reduced yield to crop termination without harvest.
