A Blueprint for Building Resilience and Food Security in MENA and SSA Drylands: Diversifying Agriculture With Neglected and Underutilized Species

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Drylands, encompassing 41% of global land and supporting over 2 billion people, face significant challenges, including water scarcity, extreme temperatures, and soil degradation. Dryland spans vast areas of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Sub‐Sahara Africa (SSA) regions and poses a threat to food security and resilience.

A potential role of heat‐moisture couplings in the range expansion of Striga asiatica

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
Our research examines the effects of climate change on the distribution of parasitic weeds, such as Orobanche, Phelipanche, and Striga, which pose threats to global food security. Utilizing satellite data and GBIF observations, we find climate‐induced shifts in habitats and expansion patterns, notably the elevation increase of Striga asiatica ...

Non-chemical Control of Root Parasitic Weeds with Biochar

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
This study tested whether soil-applied biochar can impact the seed germination and attachment of root parasitic weeds. Three hypotheses were evaluated: (i) biochar adsorbs host-exuded signaling molecules; (ii) biochar activates plants’ innate system-wide

Are root parasitic broomrapes still a good target for bioherbicide control?

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 1, Page 10-18, January 2024.
Root parasitic weeds of the genera Orobanche and Phelipanche (commonly named broomrapes), responsible for enormous yield losses of several crops all around the world, are hardly manageable because of their physiological and biological properties. Although there are no commercial products and effective applications, microbiological control has enormous ...

Morphological traits and resistance to Egyptian broomrape weed (Orobanche aegyptiaca Pers.) in tobacco under greenhouse condition

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Crop Science, 2019
Broomrape ('Orobanche aegyptiaca' Pers.) is a debilitating holoparasiting weed in tobacco ('Nicotiana tabacum' L.) fields with devastating effects on its production. In this study, the reaction of 26 tobacco genotypes was evaluated against broomrape weed in randomized complete block design with three replications under greenhouse condition.

Management of Egyptian broomrape [Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel] using biofungicide (Trichoderma spp.) in tomato

open access: yesBitki Koruma Bülteni
Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel, commonly known as Egyptian broomrape, is a root parasitic plant that causes significant yield losses in tomato production. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a commercial bioproduct containing Trichoderma asperellum strain ICC012 and Trichoderma gamsii strain ICC080, against P. aegyptiaca in tomato.

Egyptian broomrape sucrose metabolism in response to different host plants

Weed Research, 2021
AbstractBroomrapes are important parasitic weeds in many vegetable crops in dry and warm regions of the world. The study of weed parasite physiology will increase knowledge of broomrape‐host interactions that may be applied to the development of improved parasitic plant control programmes.

Primary metabolic profiling of Egyptian broomrape (Phelipanche aegyptiaca) compared to its host tomato roots

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2016
Broomrape (Phelipanche aegyptiaca) is a root holoparasitic plant considered among the most destructive agricultural weeds worldwide. In order to acquire more knowledge about the metabolism of broomrape and its interaction with its tomato host, we performed primary metabolic profiling using GCMS analysis for the early developmental stage of the parasite

Physiological and growth responses of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) genotypes to Egyptian broomrape (Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel) parasitism

Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2020
Lack of consensus on effective approaches for Egyptian broomrape (Phelipanche aegyptiaca) management in host plants has focused attention on the identification of resistant or tolerant genotypes by evaluating plant physiological responses to parasitism.
