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.

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]​,

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 ...
