Presowing hardening of the host with phenolic acids reduces induction of seed germination in the root parasite Striga asiatica [PDF]

, 1980
S. asiatica, A root parasite, causes severe loss of yield in sorghum and several other crops. The seeds of the parasite are induced to germinate by a stimulant in the host root exudate. Presowing hardening of the host with vanillic acid [121-​34-​6]​,

Differences in the ecology of witchweed and vampireweed: Implications for rice farming in Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 347-353, March 2025.
Parasitic weeds in African rice systems threaten household‐level food security and income generation. Most affected farmers are smallholders with limited capacities to address these pests. Obligate parasites Striga asiatica and Striga hermonthica (witchweed) are problematic in rainfed upland rice, affecting approximately 312,000 households. Facultative

Broomrape in Serbia from its occurrence till today [PDF]

Helia, 2009
SUMMARY Epiphytotic occurrence of broomrape was observed in Serbia for the first time in 1951, then again at the beginning of the 1990s which continues up to date. It is hypothesized that the new race was introduced by confectionery sunflower seed. Sunflower is threatened in the north of the region of Backa. The main foci of hazard are sunflower fields

microRNA‐encoded peptides inhibit seed germination of the root parasitic plant Orobanche cumana

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 436-447, March 2025.
The root parasitic plant Orobanche cumana (sunflower broomrape) is one of the major pests of sunflower crops. Despite intense efforts to develop effective agricultural practices and breeding programs, selective control of broomrapes is still rare and ineffective in terms of sustainability.

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.
