Addressing current and future problems of parasitic weeds in rice

, 2010
Significant areas of rain-fed rice in the Sahel, savannah nd derived savannah zones of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Madagascar and other Indian Ocean Islands are infested by parasitic weeds. The affected area accommodates some of the poorest farmers of the

Early warning signals of common vole population growth in continental Mediterranean farmlands recurrently affected by outbreaks

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Rodent outbreaks have significant socio‐economic impacts worldwide, and anticipation is crucial for timely management decisions. We combined rainfall and periodicity data to provide an early warning signal of vole population growth in Mediterranean farmlands, a year in advance of a peak.

Populations of the Parasitic Plant Phelipanche ramosa Influence Their Seed Microbiota

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Seeds of the parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa are well adapted to their hosts because they germinate and form haustorial structures to connect to roots in response to diverse host-derived molecular signals. P.

Innovations in parasitic weeds management in legume crops. A review

, 2013
Parasitic weeds decrease severely the production of major grain and forage legumes. The most economically damaging weeds for temperate legumes are broomrapes, in particular Orobanche crenata.

Host‐induced silencing of the Minc09294 effector gene impairs Meloidogyne incognita and M. Enterolobii infection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host‐induced gene silencing of the effector candidate Minc09294 significantly impairs Meloidogyne incognita parasitism, markedly reducing gall formation, reproduction, and the development of specialized giant cells, with partial cross‐species effects on M.

Comprehensive analysis of microtubule‐inhibiting herbicides reveals shared subcellular phenotypes and distinct resistance profiles

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Using cellular phenotyping and resistance profiling, we show that herbicides across the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) Groups 3 and 23 induce indistinguishable, dose‐dependent microtubule defects. Resistance patterns, rather than cellular phenotypes, reveal distinct sites of action and support reclassifying Group 3 as α‐tubulin binders ...

HTL/KAI2 signaling substitutes for light to control plant germination.

PLoS Genetics
Plants monitor multiple environmental cues, such as light and temperature, to ensure they germinate at the right time and place. Some specialist plants, like ephemeral fire-following weeds and root parasitic plants, germinate primarily in response to ...

Secondary metabolite signalling in host-parasitic plant interaction

, 2003
The parasitic weeds Orobanche and Striga spp. are a serious threat to agriculture in large parts of the world. The lifecycle of the parasitic weeds is closely regulated by the presence of their hosts, and secondary metabolites that are produced by host ...

Improved impact from the use of beneficial natural enemy species in Australian canola systems: challenges and required tools

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
In canola production systems in Australia, practices for the use of beneficials (arthropod predators and parasitoids) as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy, have not been widely adopted. We outline how canola growers and their advisors can be supported with incremental steps, from passive to active management, to help shift them from ...

The failing firm defence: merger policy and entry

, 2002
This paper considers the 'failing firm defence', the principle found in most antitrust jurisdictions that a merger which would otherwise be blocked due to its adverse effect on competition might be permitted when the firm to be acquired is a failing firm
