The role of strigolactone structural diversity in the host specificity and control of Striga, a major constraint to sub‐Saharan agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 318-330, March 2025.
The parasitic weed Striga affects crops such as sorghum, maize, millet, and rice in over 40 countries on the African continent and negatively impacts the livelihood of over 300 million small‐holder farmers. Striga seeds can remain dormant in the soil for many years until they are triggered to germinate by germination stimulants, called strigolactones ...

Parasitic plants are models for examining global food security, biodiversity loss and host–parasite evolution, in a changing world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 303-307, March 2025.
Parasitic plants, though often overlooked, are of exceptional importance and play a major functional role in the world's ecosystems. Where parasitic plants affect agricultural systems, they pose a threat to global food security at a time when this is already foreshadowed by a fast‐changing climate, a growing human population, economic volatility and ...

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Holoparasite Cistanche Deserticola (Orobanchaceae) reveals gene loss and horizontal gene transfer from Its host Haloxylon Ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae) [PDF]

, 2013
The central function of chloroplasts is to carry out photosynthesis, and its gene content and structure are highly conserved across land plants. Parasitic plants, which have reduced photosynthetic ability, suffer gene losses from the chloroplast (cp ...

Cytokinins as an alternative suicidal Striga germination compound

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract The witchweed Striga hermonthica, an obligate and noxious root–parasitic plant, remains a persistent threat to cereal production and poses a great challenge to smallholder farmers in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Inducing suicidal germination of Striga seeds by applying strigolactone analogs is a promising strategy to deplete the Striga seed bank of ...
