2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one is a lead inhibitor of Cuscuta campestris early development: structure–activity relationships of o‐aminophenol‐derived allelochemicals

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenoxazinones caused differential types of phytotoxic effects in C. campestris early development. APO is a coherent lead inhibiting C. campestris germination and early seedling growth. Abstract BACKGROUND 2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one (synonym: questiomycin A; abbreviated as APO or Phx‐3) is a naturally occurring phenoxazinone‐type allelochemical with ...

Comparative phylogeographic analysis of Cuscuta campestris and Cuscuta reflexa in Kenya: Implications for management of highly invasive vines

Plants, People, Planet, 2022
Societal Impact Statement Eastern Africa is currently infested with dodders—highly invasive vines that threaten agriculture and biodiversity. We describe historical and ecological factors that have potentially shaped dodder invasion in this region.

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Tracing change in the public perception of plants: insights from archives and social media in China

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1853-1871, September 2026.
As urbanization accelerates, historic gardens serve as vital cultural treasures that offer spiritual and cultural support to the public. This study proposes an innovative approach that merges historical records from the Qing Dynasty with contemporary social media data to explore changes in public perceptions of these gardens.

Parasitic Cuscuta factor(s) and the detection by tomato initiates plant defense

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
Dodders (Cuscuta spp.) are holoparasitic plants that enwind stems of host plants and penetrate those by haustoria to connect to the vascular bundles. Having a broad host plant spectrum, Cuscuta spp infect nearly all dicot plants – only cultivated tomato ...

Allelopathic potential effects of Rhazya stricta plant extract on growth control of Cuscuta campestris weed seedlings [PDF]

Iran Agricultural Research
Among weeds, parasitic plants have more profound effects on host plants. Due to its wide geographical distribution, high host range, and inefficient management methods, the Cuscuta  (Cuscuta campestris) plant has become one of the most damaging parasites.
