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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The role of strigolactones in host specificity of Orobanche and Phelipanche seed germination [PDF]
, 2013 Strigolactones are apocarotenoids regulating shoot branching. They are also known to be exuded by plant roots at very low concentrations, stimulating hyphal branching of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and germination of root parasitic weed seeds.

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.

First Report of Smynthurodes betae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Phelipanche ramosa (Orobanchaceae) [PDF]
, 2018 The bean root aphid, Smynthurodes betae Westwood (Aphididae: Eriosomatinae: Fordini) is reported for the first time feeding on haustoria of branched broomrape, Phelipanche ramosa, (Orobanchaceae) a cropparasitic plant.

(±)‐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.

Can we breed for durable resistance to broomrapes? [PDF]
, 2018 The broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche) are parasitic plants that have modified biology to feed on other plants, completely losing autotrophic capability. Some broomrape species have adapted to agricultural ecosystems becoming parasitic weeds.
