Field efficacy of a bioherbicide mimic (DiS‐NH2) in a nanoparticle formulation for weed control in durum wheat

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3796-3810, July 2025.
A new polymeric nanoparticle formulation containing aminophenoxazinone DiS‐NH2 (2,2′‐disulfanediyldianiline) is proposed as a post‐emergence and contact bioherbicide for weed management in durum wheat. Abstract BACKGROUND Weed‐resistance phenomena have increased dramatically in recent years. Bioherbicides can offer a sustainable alternative to chemical

The Role of Small RNAs in Resistant Melon Cultivar against Phelipanche aegyptiaca Parasitization

, 2023
Abstract Bidirectional trans-kingdom RNA silencing, a pivotal factor in plant-pathogen interactions, remains less explored in plant host-parasite dynamics. Here, using small RNA sequencing in melon root systems, we investigated miRNA expression variation in resistant and susceptible cultivars pre- and post-infection by the parasitic plant ...

The seed transcriptome of Rafflesia reveals horizontal gene transfer and convergent evolution: Implications for conserving the world's largest flower

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 448-466, March 2025.
Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic plants with the largest flowers in the world, unique to the threatened forest habitats of tropical Asia. Here, we report on genes that are active (the transcriptome) in Rafflesia seeds as part of a larger effort to understand Rafflesia.

Genome-wide identification of MST, SUT and SWEET family sugar transporters in root parasitic angiosperms and analysis of their expression during host parasitism

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Root parasitic weeds are a major constraint to crop production worldwide causing significant yearly losses in yield and economic value. These parasites cause their destruction by attaching to their hosts with a unique organ, the haustorium ...

Aging seeds of weedy broomrapes and witchweeds lose sensitivity to strigolactones as DNA demethylates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 476-485, March 2025.
Broomrapes and witchweeds have devastating effects on crops in parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The key to their success is the production of copious, long‐lived seeds, which germinate in response to the perception of chemicals released by their hosts' roots.

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.

Effectiveness of ten commercial maize cultivars in inducing Egyptian broomrape germination [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016
Egyptian broomrape (EB), Phelipanche aegyptiaca, is a devastating root parasite, causing enormous crop losses around the world. Maize has the potential to influence the growth of other plants through releasing certain allelochemicals and is able to ...

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.
