A Personal History in Parasitic Weeds and Their Control [PDF]
Plants, 2021 This invited paper summarises a career in which I became increasingly involved in research and related activities on Striga and other parasitic weeds. It also presents a personal view of the present status of parasitic weed problems and their control.

Non-chemical Control of Root Parasitic Weeds with Biochar [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 This study tested whether soil-applied biochar can impact the seed germination and attachment of root parasitic weeds. Three hypotheses were evaluated: (i) biochar adsorbs host-exuded signaling molecules; (ii) biochar activates plants’ innate system-wide

Harnessing the microbiome to control plant parasitic weeds.
Curr Opin Microbiol, 2019 Microbiomes can significantly expand the genomic potential of plants, contributing to nutrient acquisition, plant growth promotion and tolerance to (a)biotic stresses. Among biotic stressors, root parasitic weeds (RPWs), mainly of the genera Orobanche, Phelipanche and Striga, are major yield-limiting factors of a wide range of staple crops ...

Molecular translocation between parasitic plants and their hosts [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceParasitic plants are a special group deriving their nutrients from another plant, some of which such as witchweeds (Striga spp.) and broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are referred as weeds responsible for severe crop losses in agriculture.
