Molecular translocation between parasitic plants and their hosts [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceParasitic plants are a special group deriving their nutrients from another plant, some of which such as witchweeds (Striga spp.) and broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are referred as weeds responsible for severe crop losses in agriculture.

Role of Strigolactones in the Host Specificity of Broomrapes and Witchweeds. [PDF]
Plant Cell Physiol, 2023 AbstractRoot 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 tightly regulated by host presence.

Genetic and agronomic approaches to control Orobanche and Phelipanche spp. parasitic weeds in vegetables and legumes [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Horticulture, 2022 Broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) rely on the presence of a host plant for nourishment. Based on the release of specific molecules by the crop plant, their seeds germinate and eventually establish a vascular connection with host roots through a
