Abstract excerpt

Parasitic weed infestations represent an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean region. Phelipanche ramosa (L.) and Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) (broomrapes) cause severe yield losses in field-grown tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Strigolactones (SLs) are apocarotenoid phytohormones that not only play a critical role in plant physiology and development but also act as the...
