Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

CRISPR/Cas Genome Editing and Its Applications in Cereal Crop Improvement
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT CRISPR/Cas‐based genome editing has emerged as a transformative tool for precise genetic improvement of cereal crops. Recent advances in CRISPR technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, base editing, and prime editing, have enabled targeted modification of genes and regulatory elements controlling yield, stress tolerance, and grain ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Screening Sorghum for Resistance to Striga Hermonthica (Del.) Benth
Nova Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences, 2014 The root hemiparasitic weed Striga hermonthica is a serious constraint to grain production of economically important cereals in sub-Saharan Africa. Six cultivars of sorghum Abu sabien, were tested for resistance and tolerance to this root hemi-parasite by applying one of two levels of Striga infestation (2 and 4 mg/pot).

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.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.
