Has the Striga problem been solved? A field perspective critique of recent progress. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
The potential field efficacy of recently proposed breeding, biocontrol, suicidal germination, gene editing and transgenic solutions for Striga control is critically evaluated and mostly found wanting improvements. Abstract Three root‐parasitic witchweed (Striga) species can cause up to total loss of grain and legume crops for millions of farmers in ...

The activity of Trichoderma spp. culture filtrate to control Phelipanche aegyptiaca infection in tomato [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection Research
Two independent pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of two different application methods for culture filtrates of 10 Trichoderma spp. strains to reduce infection of Phelipanche aegyptiaca in tomatoes.

ABA signaling components in Phelipanche aegyptiaca. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractObligate root holoparasite Phelipanche aegyptiaca is an agricultural pest, which infests its hosts and feeds on the sap, subsequently damaging crop yield and quality. Its notoriously viable seed bank may serve as an ideal pest control target. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) was shown to regulate P.

Characterization of a Chickpea Mutant Resistant to Phelipanche aegyptiaca Pers. and Orobanche crenata Forsk. [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2021
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a major pulse crop in Israel grown on about 3000 ha spread, from the Upper Galilee in the north to the North-Negev desert in the south. In the last few years, there has been a gradual increase in broomrape infestation in chickpea fields in all regions of Israel. Resistant chickpea cultivars would be simple and effective

Germination Stimulant Activity of Isothiocyanates on Phelipanche spp.

Plants, 2022
The root parasitic weed broomrapes, Phelipanche spp., cause severe damage to agriculture all over the world. They have a special host-dependent lifecycle and their seeds can germinate only when they receive chemical signals released from host roots.

Screening of Haustorium Induction Factors of Phelipanche aegyptiaca Pers. Based on Metabolome Analysis of Cucumis melo L. Root Exudates

Agronomy, 2022
Phelipanche aegyptiaca Pers. is a holoparasitic plant that causes tremendous losses of agricultural crops worldwide. The initiation and development of the haustoria (special intrusive organs) is a key step in the growth of parasitic plants.

Low Infection of Phelipanche aegyptiaca in Micro-Tom Mutants Deficient in CAROTENOIDCLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 8. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2018
Strigolactones (SLs), a group of plant hormones, induce germination of root-parasitic plants and inhibit shoot branching in many plants. Shoot branching is an important trait that affects the number and quality of flowers and fruits. Root-parasitic plants, such as Phelipanche spp., infect tomato roots and cause economic damage in Europe and North ...

Reduced strigolactone exudation as a key resistance mechanism in wild carrots against Phelipanche aegyptiaca. [PDF]

Plant Cell Physiol
Abstract Phelipanche aegyptiaca is a root parasitic plant that causes significant yield losses in many crops, including carrots (Daucus carota). This study investigates the resistance mechanisms of two wild carrot accessions, PI 21793 (Daucus glaber) and PI 341902 (Daucus littoralis), against P.

The TIR-Type NLR Protein Is Involved in the Regulation of Phelipanche aegyptiaca Resistance in Cucumis melo

Agronomy, 2023
Phelipanche aegyptiaca is an obligate holoparasite that causes serious negative effects on crop growth and productivity, effective control of which is difficult due to its unique biological characteristics.
