Phenolic signals for prehaustorium formation in Striga hermonthica

Phenolic signals for prehaustorium formation in Striga hermonthica
Striga hermonthica is a root parasitic plant that causes considerable crop yield losses. To parasitize host plants, parasitic plants develop a specialized organ called the haustorium that functions in host invasion and nutrient absorption. The initiation of a prehaustorium, the primitive haustorium structure before host invasion, requires the ...
