The ability of parasitic plants to withdraw nutrients from their hosts depends on the formation of an infective structure known as the haustorium. How parasites […]
A recent study by Gabriela S. Olivares et al., conducted in the southern South American temperate rainforests, revealed how habitat structure influences the behavior of […]
Parasitic weeds of the Orobanchaceae family cause substantial economic losses and pose significant threats to global agriculture. However, management of these parasites is challenging, and […]

The use of strigolactone (SL) analogs as suicidal germination agents to control the seed banks of the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica has gained interest for field applications […]
Holoparasitic plants such as Orobanche are thought to act as a strong sink for host resources. Here, we tested the effect of nutrient supply to […]
Facultative root hemiparasites likely connect to several hosts at the same time. However, most studies use single-association experiments, where a host and parasite are grown […]
