Has the Striga problem been solved? A field perspective critique of recent progress. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThe potential field efficacy of recently proposed breeding, biocontrol, suicidal germination, gene editing and transgenic solutions for Striga control is critically evaluated and mostly found wanting improvements. Abstract Three root‐parasitic witchweed (Striga) species can cause up to total loss of grain and legume crops for millions of farmers in ...

In vitro dynamic and quantitative monitoring of strigolactone-signaling complex formation by time-resolved FRET. [PDF]
Plant JWe developed a new in vitro method using time‐resolved FRET to evaluate the dynamic activation of the strigolactone (SL) receptors. This system was used to gain deeper insights into the molecular mechanism of SL‐signaling complex formation and to detect naturally occurring SLs.

Parasitic plants in Europe: ecological niches and spatial patterns. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Parasitic plant functional types in Europe exhibit different distribution patterns in terms of habitats, geography, and major environmental gradients, reflecting their physiological properties. Abstract Parasitic plants inhabit a wide range of ecosystems worldwide, where they may have critical roles as “ecosystem engineers”.

Altered Mitochondrial Respiration Is Associated With Loss of Nuclear-Encoded OXPHOS Genes in Parasitic Broomrapes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe holoparasitic tribe Orobancheae demonstrated significant gene losses in their nuclear‐encoded mitochondrial OXPHOS genes. Despite these losses, high resolution respirometry revealed robust mitochondrial respiration in Orobancheae by shifting activities to fully nuclear encoded alternative complexes. ABSTRACT Parasitic plants, characterized by their

Response of wild and weedy broomrapes to synthetic strigolactone analogue GR24 [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2014 Parasitic plants of genera Orobanche and Phelipanche germinate after exposition to chemical signals exuded by roots of the host plants. The most studied germination stimulants belong to strigolactones (SLs), the newly discovered plant hormones which are ...
