Journal ArticleDOI

First indications for the involvement of strigolactones on nodule formation in alfalfa (Medicago sativa)

María José Soto, +6 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: Alfalfa nodulation is positively affected by the presence of the strigolactone analogue GR24 and increased nodule formation by rhizobia cannot be linked with a stimulatory effect of GR24 on the growth or the expression of nod genes of S. meliloti.
Journal ArticleDOI

Faba bean breeding for disease resistance

Josefina C. Sillero, +6 more
- 05 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: Current and future strategies on breeding faba bean for disease resistance are reviewed and critically discussed and effectiveness of MAS might soon increase with the adoption of new improvements in marker technology and the integration of comparative mapping and functional genomics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative transcriptome analyses reveal core parasitism genes and suggest gene duplication and repurposing as sources of structural novelty

Zhenzhen Yang, +17 more
- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of gene expression patterns in parasitic and nonparasitic angiosperms suggests that parasitism genes are derived primarily from root and floral tissues, but with some genes co-opted from other tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innovations in parasitic weeds management in legume crops. A review

Diego Rubiales, +2 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: The most economical and environmentally friendly control option is the use of resistant crop varieties; however, breeding for resistance is a difficult task considering the scarce and complex nature of resistance in most crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Parasitic Plant Genome Project: New Tools for Understanding the Biology of Orobanche and Striga

James H. Westwood, +9 more
- 19 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: The sequences generated through this project will provide an abundant resource of molecular markers for understanding population dynamics, as well as provide insight into the biology of parasitism and advance progress toward understanding parasite virulence and host resistance mechanisms.
