BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Parasitic plants engage in a complex molecular dialog with potential host plants to identify a host and overcome host defenses to initiate development of the parasitic feeding organ, the haustorium, invade host tissues, and withdraw water and ...

Conserved nematode signalling molecules elicit plant defenses and pathogen resistance [PDF]
, 2015 Plant-defense responses are triggered by perception of conserved microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), for example, flagellin or peptidoglycan.

High water availability increases the negative impact of a native hemiparasite on its non-native host [PDF]
, 2015 Environmental factors alter the impacts of parasitic plants on their hosts. However, there have been no controlled studies on how water availability modulates stem hemiparasites' effects on hosts.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Screening of resistance to egyptian broomrape infection in tomato varieties [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2014 Parasitic weed species of the genus Orobanche are serious threat for the production of several crops in Europe, Africa and Asia. Research on resistant host plant varieties is one of the most effective management strategies for this parasitic weed.

Orobanche salviae (Orobanchaceae), new to the flora of the Iberian Peninsula
Mediterranean Botany, 2023 Orobanche salviae is a European orophyte and considered an exclusive parasite of Salvia glutinosa. Here we provide the first report of the species for the Iberian Peninsula, which we discovered recently in the eastern Catalan Pyrenees.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 8 in tomato provides resistance against the parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca. [PDF]
, 2019 Broomrapes (Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Orobanche spp.) are obligate plant parasites that cause extreme damage to crop plants. The parasite seeds have strict requirements for germination, involving preconditioning and exposure to specific chemicals ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

CRISPR gene editing to improve crop resistance to parasitic plants
Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2023 Parasitic plants pose a significant threat to global agriculture, causing substantial crop losses and hampering food security. In recent years, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) gene-editing technology has emerged as a ...

Sintra-root system heterogeneity of Radopholus similis population dynamics on bananas, a modelling approach [PDF]
, 2009 At the plant scale, the heterogeneity of pest populations have long time been ignored. Concerning plant-parasitic nematodes, there is strong evidence that these populations could be highly heterogeneous in space, mostly due to their low dispersal ...
