Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sunflower broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) is a holoparasitic plant that jeopardizes sunflower production in most areas of Europe and Asia. Recently, populations with increased virulence, classified as race GGV, have been identified in Southern Spain's Guadalquivir Valley gene pool. These populations overcome resistance genes in hybrids resistant to the predominant race FGV. This study aimed to (i)...
