Selective Control o Egyptian Broomrape (Orobanche Aegyptiacapers.) by Glyphosate and its Amino Acid Status in Relation to Selected Hosts
Broomrapes are achlorophyllous holoparasites of many economically important dicotyledonous crops. As weeds, they cause reductions in crop yield, adversely affect crop quality, and result in loss of cultivated land due to reduced crop alternatives. Few effective control measures exist for …

Egyptian Broomrape (Orobanche aegyptiaca Pers.) and Small Broomrape (Orobanche minor Sm.) Parasitism of Red Clover (Trifolium pratense L.) in Vitro
Broomrapes, <i>Orobanche</i> spp., are holoparasites that affect the growth of a variety of broadleaf crops. One of the distinct characteristics of the family Orobanchaceae is the lack of chlorophyll, and hence inability to synthesize their own food. Broomrapes subsist on the roots of the host …

The Utilization of the Hmg2 Inducible Promoter to Genetically Engineer Parasite Resistance in Tobacco
… tabacum Behrens, and the parasitic angiosperm, Egyptian broomrape, Orobanche aegyptiaca Pers., are obligate root parasites that cause severe yield and quality loss of many important crop hosts. Although these represent two diverse classes of parasites, they have significant similarities in the …

Study and Manipulation of the Salicylic Acid-Dependent Defense Pathway in Plants Parasitized by Orobanche aegyptiaca Pers.
… angiosperm Orobanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) (Egyptian broomrape) is a root holoparasite that causes severe losses in yield and quality of many crops. Control of Orobanche is extremely challenging, in part because the parasite is hidden underground for most of its life cycle. However, the …

Exploring host-parasitic plant interactions by examining mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility
… the root parasite Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Egyptian broomrape) and the shoot parasite Cuscuta gronovii (swamp dodder), as well as investigations into Arabidopsis and tomato molecular responses to parasitism. These comparative studies reveal parasite-induced changes in hosts across diverse …

Engineering Resistance to <i>Orobanche</i> <i>aegyptiaca</i>: Evidence of Sarcotoxin IA as an Anti-Parasite Protein and Macromolecule Movement From Host to Parasite
<i>Orobanche</i> species are parasitic weeds that subsist on the roots of many dicotyledonous plants. These parasites form symplastic and apoplastic connections with their hosts and act as strong sinks for the uptake of water, minerals, and photosynthates, often causing severe damage to the hosts. …
