TLDR
Orobanche crenata grew vigorously on broadbean even when the original host was safflower or coleus and Ramose from tobacco and from tomato did equally well on either host.Abstract:
Strains ofOrobanche crenata, O. aegyptiaca, O. minor, O. ramose andO. cernua from different geographical areas and from different host species were potted with tobacco, tomato and other hosts.Orobanche cernua, O. aegyptiaca andO. Ramose from tobacco and from tomato did equally well on either host.Orobanche crenata grew vigorously on broadbean even when the original host was safflower or coleus.Orobanche minor has apparently developed several distinct strains.read more

Protection of crops against parasitic weeds
TL;DR: Parasitic plants have been the subject of intensive study over the past 20 years and there has been considerable progress in understanding their physiology and biochemistry, but most problems require not only an integrated approach, but a sustained, long-term programme of integrated control measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and biogeography of Orobanchaceae
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ITS sequence data to build a phylogenetic framework with which to examine previous systematic hypotheses of relationships among genera, and biogeographic hypotheses of either a Cretaceous, Gondwanan or mid-Tertiary, Laurasian origin of the Orobanchaceae.
Book ChapterDOI
The Parasitic Weeds of the Orobanchaceae
TL;DR: This chapter outlines the most important members of the Orobanchaceae occurring as weeds of agriculture worldwide, the holoparasitic broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche species), the hemiparAsitic Striga species and finally a few less important Hemiparasites including Alectra, Aeginetia and Rhamphicarpa species.

Characterization of strigolactones exuded by Asteraceae plants
Kaori Yoneyama,Xiaonan Xie,Takaya Kisugi,Takahito Nomura,Hitoshi Sekimoto,Takao Yokota,Koichi Yoneyama +6 more
TL;DR: Strigolactones (SLs), originally characterized as germination stimulants for root parasitic weeds, are now recognized as hyphal branching factors for symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and as a novel class of plant hormones inhibiting shoot branching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host-driven divergence in the parasitic plant Orobanche minor Sm. (Orobanchaceae).
TL;DR: Results show that O. minor sensu lato may comprise distinct, genetically divergent races isolated by the different ecologies of their hosts, and suggest that host specificity may be an important driver of allopatric speciation in parasitic plants.

The Biology of Striga, Orobanche, and other Root-Parasitic Weeds
TL;DR: This review deals with higher plants that are parasitic on the roots of other higher plants, both weeds and parasites, which show great phenotypic plas ticity, wide environmental tolerance, prefer permanently disturbed habitats, and are part of a plant guild associated with colonizing or crop complex species.
