High impact information on Orobanche

 

Biological context of Orobanche

  • Species of Orobanche have either had recent photosynthetic ancestors, implying multiple independent losses of photosynthesis in this genus, or the rbcL gene may serve an unknown function in some nonphotosynthetic plants [3].
  • Comparison of rbcL 3'-UTR sequences for Nicotiana, Ipomoea, Cuscuta, and Orobanche reveal that nucleotide sequences from parasitic plants have regions capable of forming stem-loop structures, but 56-69 nt are deleted upstream of the stem-loop in the parasitic plants compared to their photosynthetic relatives [3].
 

Associations of Orobanche with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Orobanche

  • The appearance of the activity of the cyanide insensitive, alternative oxidase (AOX), pathway of oxygen uptake was followed in seeds of Orobanche aegyptiaca during conditioning [11].
  • Transgenic tomato plants expressing the sarcotoxin IA gene were grown either in polyethylene bags (PE) or in pots inoculated with Orobanche aegyptiaca seeds [12].
  • Isolation and characterization of a cDNA encoding phytochrome A in the non-photosynthetic parasitic plant, Orobanche minor Sm [13].
  • Transformation of carrots with mutant acetolactate synthase for Orobanche (broomrape) control [14].
