Orobanche cumana (sunflower broomrape) is an obligate parasitic plant that infects
sunflower roots, causing yield losses. Here, by using a map-based cloning strategy, we …

Till now, there is no complete program that could be implemented to eradicate the parasitic
weeds such as broomrape because of their complex life cycle. Therefore, the current …

Since broomrape weed has an intricate life cycle, its completely elimination is almost
impossible. However, it is necessary to try to obtain modern means to reduce broomrape …
