Parasitic Plant-Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Strigolactones and sesquiterpene lactones induce Orobanche cumana germination via KAI2d receptors through distinct processes. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY Orobanche cumana is an obligate parasitic weed belonging to the Orobanchaceae family and represents the most important biotic constraint to sunflower seed production in all the regions where sunflower is cultivated, except in North and South America. O.

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”.

Genuine and Sequestered Natural Products from the Genus Orobanche (Orobanchaceae, Lamiales)
Molecules, 2018 The present review gives an overview about natural products from the holoparasitic genus Orobanche (Orobanchaceae). We cover both genuine natural products as well as compounds sequestered by Orobanche taxa from their host plants. However, the distinction
