Role of Ethylene in the Germination of the Hemiparasite Striga hermonthica [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1991 Seed germination of the hemiparasitic angiosperm Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth is elicited by compounds present in the root exudates of the host plant. Although a variety of compounds can substitute for the host-derived signal, the mechanism through which these act is unknown.

Parasitic Plant-Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Characterization of host tolerance to Striga hermonthica [PDF]
Euphytica, 2006 One of the most promising control options against the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica is the use of crop varieties that combine resistance with high levels of tolerance. The aim of this study was to clarify the relation between Striga infestation level, Striga infection level and relative yield loss of sorghum and to use this insight for exploring ...

Strigolactones are chemoattractants for host tropism in Orobanchaceae parasitic plants
Nature Communications, 2022 Parasitic plants are able to grow towards potential hosts. Here the authors show that strigolactones produced by the host plants can act as chemoattractants for the root parasites Phtheirospermum japonicum and Striga hermonthica.

Strigolactones and sesquiterpene lactones induce Orobanche cumana germination via KAI2d receptors through distinct processes. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY Orobanche cumana is an obligate parasitic weed belonging to the Orobanchaceae family and represents the most important biotic constraint to sunflower seed production in all the regions where sunflower is cultivated, except in North and South America. O.
