microRNA‐encoded peptides inhibit seed germination of the root parasitic plant Orobanche cumana

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 436-447, March 2025.
The root parasitic plant Orobanche cumana (sunflower broomrape) is one of the major pests of sunflower crops. Despite intense efforts to develop effective agricultural practices and breeding programs, selective control of broomrapes is still rare and ineffective in terms of sustainability.

Parasitic plants are models for examining global food security, biodiversity loss and host–parasite evolution, in a changing world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 303-307, March 2025.
Parasitic plants, though often overlooked, are of exceptional importance and play a major functional role in the world's ecosystems. Where parasitic plants affect agricultural systems, they pose a threat to global food security at a time when this is already foreshadowed by a fast‐changing climate, a growing human population, economic volatility and ...

Characterization resistance mechanisms in faba bean (Vicia faba) against broomrape species (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Faba bean (Vicia faba) production in Mediterranean and Near East agriculture is severely constrained by broomrape infection. The most widely distributed broomrape species affecting faba bean is Orobanche crenata, although O.

Development and application of a bioassay for assessing the dissipation rate of the synthetic strigolactone GR24 in soil

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Root parasitic weeds of the genera Striga, Orobanche, and Phelipanche cause enormous economic losses for farmers the world over. Germination of the seeds of these species requires a chemotropic signal in the form of strigolactones in the soil.

Parasitic success of the pathogenic plant Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel. (Orobanchaceae) differs in some re‐infected versus naïve tomato cultivars

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Plants are exposed to infection and predation by organisms from most kingdoms of life, including their own. Layers of molecular defence mechanisms have evolved to limit damage and disease from microbial and insect pathogens, and plants can also defend themselves against attack by members of their own kingdom.

(±)‐Catechins inhibit prehaustorium formation in the parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa and reduce tomato infestation

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 720-726, February 2025.
Cytokinins (CKs) induce papillae (prehaustorium) formation (A, red arrow). (±)‐Catechins application prevent CK‐induced prehaustorium formation without affecting radicle growth (B). Soil application of (±)‐catechins is effective in lowering parasite attachment to tomato plants. Abstract BACKGROUND Phelipanche ramosa L.

Agrobacterium‐mediated Cuscuta campestris transformation as a tool for understanding plant–plant interactions

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 4, Page 1774-1786, February 2025.
Summary Cuscuta campestris, a stem parasitic plant, has served as a valuable model plant for the exploration of plant–plant interactions and molecular trafficking. However, a major barrier to C. campestris research is that a method to generate stable transgenic plants has not yet been developed.

Green-synthesized copper nanoparticles differentially modulate germination and selected stress-response genes in Phelipanche aegyptiaca

Scientific Reports
Egyptian broomrape (Phelipanche aegyptiaca) is a devastating parasitic weed requiring eco-friendly control strategies. This in vitro study investigated the effects of green-synthesised copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, produced using Anethum graveolens ...

Tomato Mutants Reveal Root and Shoot Strigolactone Involvement in Branching and Broomrape Resistance

Plants
The phytohormones strigolactones (SLs) control root and shoot branching and are exuded from roots into the rhizosphere to stimulate interaction with mycorrhizal fungi.

The Mechanism Involved in High-Lycopene Tomato Mutants for Broomrape Resistance

Agronomy
The root parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel poses a serious threat to solanaceous crops, leading to yield losses of up to 80% in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Strigolactones (SLs), derived from the carotenoid metabolic pathway, serve
