The Effects of Herbicides Targeting Aromatic and Branched Chain Amino Acid Biosynthesis Support the Presence of Functional Pathways in Broomrape

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
It is not clear why herbicides targeting aromatic and branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis successfully control broomrapes—obligate parasitic plants that obtain all of their nutritional requirements, including amino acids, from the host.

Comprehensive Chemical and Biological Assessment of Orobanche racemosa Extracts Using Chromatographic, In Vitro, In Silico, and Cell‐Based Techniques

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
Orobanche racemosa can be considered an effective source of natural bioactive agents in designing functional applications. The growing interest in natural product research as a safer and sustainable alternative to synthetic drugs has triggered this study, which evaluates the chemical profile and biological activity of Orobanche racemosa extracts.

Non-chemical Control of Root Parasitic Weeds with Biochar

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

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

Genome and Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Strigolactones and sesquiterpene lactones induce Orobanche cumana germination via KAI2d receptors through distinct processes

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
SUMMARY Orobanche cumana is an obligate parasitic weed belonging to the Orobanchaceae family and represents the most important biotic constraint to sunflower seed production in all the regions where sunflower is cultivated, except in North and South America. O.
