Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Effects of nutrient addition and soil drainage on germination of N-fixing and non-N-fixing tropical dry forest tree species [PDF]

, 2016
To develop generalised predictions regarding the effects of atmospheric nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deposition on vegetation communities, it is necessary to account for the impacts of increased nutrient availability on the early life history stages ...

Managing Root Parasitic Weeds to Facilitate Legume Reintroduction into Mediterranean Rain-Fed Farming Systems

Soil Systems, 2023
Grain and forage legumes are important sources of food and feed, key for sustainable agriculture given the environmental services they provide. However, their cultivation is hampered in the Mediterranean Basin and Near East by the widespread occurrence ...

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

PLANTS, 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

Plant 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.)

Weed 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

The 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 ...
