Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Silicon Protection of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris) Against Field Dodder (Cuscuta campestris): Preliminary Analysis

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This preliminary study aimed to investigate the mitigation effect of silicon (Si) on field dodder‐induced stress in sugar beet. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three factors, including parasitic infection (non‐parasitized and dodder‐parasitized sugar beet), Si source (5 mM Si in the form of Na2SiO3 or K2SiO3)

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.

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 ...
