Genetic and agronomic approaches to control Orobanche and Phelipanche spp. parasitic weeds in vegetables and legumes
Broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) rely on the presence of a host plant for nourishment.Based on the release of specific molecules by the crop plant, their seeds germinate and eventually establish a vascular connection with host roots through a haustorium.Therefore, they deprive their hosts of water and nutrients, posing a severe threat to
