Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Sunflower breeding for resistance to the new races of broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) in Romania

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2002
The actual spectrum of the broomrape races in Romania has changed. The study of the sunflower differential set for the broomrape races, under natural and artificial infestation demonstrated the existence of a new spectrum of these races.

Inbred‐Race Recovery From a Mixed Population of the Parasitic Weed Sunflower Broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.)

open access: yesWeed Research, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sunflower broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) is a holoparasitic weed with two distinct genetic pools in Spain: the Guadalquivir Valley (GV) and Cuenca province (CU). From a stable situation where races F (FGV and FCU) were predominant, new races have recently emerged: GGV and GCU, presumably caused by population movements and cross ...

Genomic prediction for heat and herbicide tolerance in faba bean

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) has potential to accelerate the genetic gain in crop plants. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy and potential of GS in faba bean [Vicia faba (L.)] and to enhance its application in breeding programs. A set of 118 diverse faba bean accessions were phenotyped for key agronomic traits under herbicide and heat ...

Recent advances in Broomrapes research

open access: yesJournal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2012
Orobanchaceae (broomrapes) is a morphologically diverse family of predominantly herbaceous, parasitic plants. The majority of species are facultative or obligate root parasites that subsist on broad-leaf plants, thereby depleting them of nutrients, minerals and water. The taxonomy status of the family Orobanchaceae among other flowering plants is often

Identification of candidate gene for resistance to broomrape (Orobanche cumana) in sunflower by BSA-seq

open access: yesOil Crop Science, 2020
Broomrape (Orobanche cumana) is one of the most important parasitic plants that drastically reduces sunflower yield. The majority of existing resistance varieties have become insufficient for crop protection. Breeding for broomrape resistance is regarded
