Broomrape Threat to Agriculture [PDF]
Outlooks on Pest Management, 2020 The broomrapes are plants that have modified their biology to feed on roots of other plants, emerging above the soil only to flower. There are about 150 broomrape species, most of which infect wild plants in natural habitats without causing economic problems.

Legume breeding for broomrape resistance [PDF]
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2014 Legume cultivation is hampered in Mediterranean regions by the occurrence of the root parasitic weeds Orobanche crenata (crenate broomrape) and Orobanche foetida (foetida broomrape). Strategies of control have been developed but only marginal successes have been achieved.

Resurrection of the genus Aphyllon for New World broomrapes (Orobanche s.l., Orobanchaceae)
PhytoKeys, 2016 Recent phylogenetic studies support a monophyletic clade of New World broomrapes (Orobanche sects. Gymnocaulis and Nothaphyllon) sister to the Old World genus Phelipanche. I place the New World taxa in the genus Aphyllon, propose 21 new combinations, and

Characterization of resistance to crenate broomrape (Orobanche crenata) in a new small-seeded line of Tunisian faba beans [PDF]
, 2007 Orobanche crenata, crenate broomrape, causes major drawbacks in faba bean production in Mediterranean countries. The development of resistant varieties remains the most efficient way to solve this problem. This study was designed to assess the resistance

Association mapping for broomrape resistance in sunflower
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionSunflower breeding for resistance to the parasitic plant sunflower broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) requires the identification of novel resistance genes. In this research, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify QTLs associated with broomrape resistance.MethodsThe marker-trait associations were examined across a ...

Reduced germination of Orobanche cumana seeds in the presence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi or their exudates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp) are parasitic plants responsible for important crop losses, and efficient procedures to control these pests are scarce. Biological control is one of the possible strategies to tackle these pests.
