Recent vegetation shifts in the French Alps with winners outnumbering losers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3275-3292, November 2025.
Analysing 11 million records of 4250 French Alps plant species over 30 years shows that one‐third expanded their range, dominated by thermophilic and fast‐colonizing species, while 13% declined. Most species showed little response, with potential shifts lagging behind climate change. Our study deepens our understanding of the complex dynamics of recent

Overabundant populations of large wild herbivores disrupt plant–pollinator networks in a Mediterranean ecosystem

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1047-1057, October 2025.
Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.

6‐Hydroxynicotinic Acid From Cucumis melo Inhibits Prehaustorium Formation in Phelipanche aegyptiaca via Disruption of Auxin Signalling Pathway

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 8, August 2025.
6‐hydroxynicotinic acid inhibits prehaustorium development in Phelipanche aegyptiaca by inhibiting GH3‐mediated auxin conjugation, downregulating key auxin‐responsive genes, and impairing the auxin transporter AUX1. ABSTRACT Phelipanche aegyptiaca, a root holoparasitic weed, severely threatens agricultural productivity due to its detrimental effects ...

Fusarium Rot of Orobanche ramosa Parasitizing Tobacco in Southern Italy

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2005
In tobacco crops grown in the province of Caserta (southern Italy), we noted, for the first time in Italy, very many broomrape (Orobanche ramosa) plants exhibiting mycosis caused by a strain of Fusarium oxysporum that is not pathogenic to tobacco.

Diverging repeatomes in holoparasitic Hydnoraceae uncover a playground of genome evolution

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1520-1537, August 2025.
Summary The transition from an autotrophic to a heterotrophic lifestyle is associated with numerous genomic changes. These often involve large genomic alterations, potentially driven by repetitive DNAs. Despite their recognized role in shaping plant genomes, the contribution of repetitive DNAs to parasitic plant genome evolution remains largely ...

Towards an Integrated Orobanche Management: Understanding Farmers’ Decision-Making Processes Using a Discrete Choice Experiment

Agronomy
Controlling the Orobanche weed parasite is a major challenge for farmers, and the individual application of various management practices has not yet proven to be successful in addressing this issue.
