Essential plant nutrients impair post‐germination development of Striga in sorghum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 422-435, March 2025.
Infestation by the parasitic weed Striga is a major cause of cereal crop production losses on smallholder farms in Africa. Essential plant nutrients play an important indirect role in parasite seed germination, the first prerequisite for successful parasitism.

[Potential role of winter rape weeds in the extension of broomrape in Poitou-Charentes].

Comptes rendus biologies, 2003
Sur les 82 espèces d'adventices du colza d'hiver (Brassica napus L.), répertoriées en Poitou-Charentes, 22 sont identifiées comme les plus affines du colza. 50 % des adventices affines sont parasitées aux champs par Orobanche ramosa, jouant le rôle de plantes hôtes. Des co-cultures en serres (adventice/Orobanche ramosa) révèlent que des adventices, non

Comparative gene expression analysis of differentiated terminal and lateral haustoria of the obligate root parasitic plant Phelipanche ramosa (Orobanchaceae)

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 ...

Aging seeds of weedy broomrapes and witchweeds lose sensitivity to strigolactones as DNA demethylates

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.

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.
