Parasitic weed management by using strigolactone‐degrading fungi

Pest Management Science, 2016
AbstractBACKGROUNDSeed germination is a key phase of the parasitic plant life cycle that is stimulated by the secondary metabolites, mainly strigolactones (SLs), secreted by the host roots. Interventions during this stage would be particularly suitable for parasitic weed management practices, as blocking these chemical signals would prevent seed ...

Silencing of a mannitol transport gene in Phelipanche aegyptiaca by the tobacco rattle virus system reduces the parasite germination on the host root

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022
Root parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca is an obligate plant parasite that causes severe damage to host crops. Agriculture crops mainly belong to the Brassicaceae, Leguminosae, Cruciferae, and Solanaceae plant families affected by this parasitic weed,

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (CCD) Genes in Sorghum Alters Strigolactone Biosynthesis and Plant Biotic Interactions

Phytobiomes Journal, 2023
Strigolactones are a group of small molecules that play critical roles in plant developmental processes and root biotic interactions. Strigolactones are agronomically important due to their role as a signal for the germination of a parasitic weed (Striga
