Role of Strigolactones in the Host Specificity of Broomrapes and Witchweeds. [PDF]
Plant Cell Physiol, 2023 Root parasitic plants of the Orobanchaceae, broomrapes and witchweeds, pose a severe problem to agriculture in Europe, Asia and especially Africa. These parasites are totally dependent on their host for survival, and therefore, their germination is ...

Can we breed for durable resistance to broomrapes? [PDF]
Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2018 The broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche) are parasitic plants that have modified biology to feed on other plants, completely losing autotrophic capability. Some broomrape species have adapted to agricultural ecosystems becoming parasitic weeds.
