Molecular insights into volatile organic compound sensing and signaling in plants

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Plants interact with their surrounding environment through the perception of a vast and structurally diverse array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); however, the molecular mechanisms involved remain mostly unknown. Despite the large number of VOCs emitted and perceived by plants, only a small number of phylogenetically distinct, but often ...

Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides as potential bioactive agents: synthesis and computational study

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7995-8006, December 2025.
Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides were synthesized and evaluated for phytotoxic activity. Some compounds showed greater inhibition than S‐metolachlor against Sorghum bicolor. Docking studies indicated interaction with mitogen‐activated protein kinase, suggesting it as a potential target.

Salt‐Induced Stomatal Closure Suppresses Parasitism by Phtheirospermum japonicum

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT In nature, parasitic plants may grow in marginal and stressful environments. However, the effects of concurrent abiotic stress, such as salinity, on parasitism remain underexplored, particularly in facultative root hemiparasites. Here, we examined the effect of salt on the relationship between the parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum and its ...

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

Inuloxin E, a New Seco-Eudesmanolide Isolated from Dittrichia viscosa, Stimulating Orobanche cumana Seed Germination

Molecules, 2019
A new sesquiterpenoid belonging to the subgroup seco-eudesmanolides and named inuloxin E was isolated from Dittrichia viscosa, together with the already known sesquiterpenoids inuloxins A−D and α-costic acid.

A preliminary approach for modelling the effects of cropping systems on the dynamics of broomrape (Phelipanche ramosa) in interaction with the non-parasitic weed flora

Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2011
The current decrease in herbicide use may increase and diversify weed flora in crops as well as companion bioagressors spreading via weeds. Among these bioagressors is Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel, a parastic plant which is very harmful on oilseed rape.

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.

The effect of duration of solarization on controlling branched broomrape (Phelipanche ramosa L.) and some weed species

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2012
In this study, the effects of two-, four- and six-week periods of solarization on Phelipanche ramosa and other weeds were determined in tomato greenhouses between 2007-2009 in Aydin Province/Turkey. In the first year, the maximum temperatures recorded in

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.
