GENETIC AND AGRONOMIC APPROACHES TO CONTROL OROBANCHE AND PHELIPANCHE SPP. PARASITIC WEEDS IN VEGETABLES AND LEGUMES

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 SE
