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 ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 476-485, March 2025.Broomrapes and witchweeds have devastating effects on crops in parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The key to their success is the production of copious, long‐lived seeds, which germinate in response to the perception of chemicals released by their hosts' roots.

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

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.

Legume breeding for broomrape resistance [PDF]
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2014 Legume cultivation is hampered in Mediterranean regions by the occurrence of the root parasitic weeds Orobanche crenata (crenate broomrape) and Orobanche foetida (foetida broomrape). Strategies of control have been developed but only marginal successes have been achieved.

Genetic control of broomrape in sunflower
, 2021 Broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) is a major biotic constraint in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production in Europe and Asia. It produces a large number of small seeds that are easily disseminated, leading to the build-up of O. cumana populations, and the constant appearance of new, and more virulent races.
