Strigolactone, reactive oxygen species, abscisic acid, and miR399 pathway in tobacco host plant regulate growth of parasitizing broomrape Phelipanche aegyptiaca during nitrogen or phosphorous stress [PDF]
Background The broomrape Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Orobanchaceae) is a root holoparasitic plant that acquires carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from host plants. When the host plant suffers from nutrient deficiency, how broomrape responds and the

Molecular and agronomic assessment of faba bean genotypes identifies resistance to Orobanche crenata infestation [PDF]
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.)(V. faba), an essential legume in Egypt, is severely impacted by broomrape (Orobanche crenata) (O. crenata), a parasitic weed that feeds on roots, making chemical control difficult without harming the crop.
