-Parasitic weed species of the genus Orobanche are serious threat for the production of several crops in Europe, Africa and Asia. Research on resistant host plant varieties is one of the most effective management strategies for this parasitic weed. In this study, the susceptibility of twenty-nine tomato varieties to broomrape infection (Orobanche aegyptiaca) under greenhouse conditions was investigated. The employed experimental design was completely randomized with three replications. Differences in susceptibility to infection were monitored among tomato varieties based on their difference in the number of emerged shoots of broomrape and broomrape dry weight (shoots and tubercles). Date of Orobanche emergence varied over a period of 3 to 30 days between varieties. Very late infection was monitored for varieties of Cal-jN3, Viva, Caligen 86, Packmor, CSX 5013, Hyb. PS 6515 and Hyb Petopride5. Differences in the growth and fruit yield among tomato varieties were also found in response to broomrape infestation. Moderate levels of resistance were obtained in Viva, Caligen 86, Hyb. PS 6515, Hyb.Firenze (PS 8094) and Cal-jN3 among other tomato varieties. In contrast, varieties of Kimia-Falat, Hyb. Petopride II and Hyb.AP865 were the most susceptible hosts to Orobanche aegyptiaca.Keywords: breeding, Orobanche aegyptiaca, Lycopersicon esculentum, parasitic plant, weed.

Também RESUMO -Espécies de plantas daninhas parasitas do gênero Orobanche são uma séria ameaça à produção de diversas culturas na Europa, África e Ásia. A realização de pesquisas com variedades resistentes de plantas hospedeiras é uma das estratégias de manejo mais eficazes com relação a essa planta daninha parasita. Neste estudo, foi investigada, em casa de vegetação, a susceptibilidade de vinte e nove variedades de tomate à infecção pela erva-toira do Egito (Orobanche aegyptiaca). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições. As diferenças de susceptibilidade à infecção foram monitoradas entre as variedades de tomate com base na diferença entre o grau de emergência da parte aérea da erva-toira e a massa seca da erva-toira (parte aérea e tubérculos). A data de emergência da Orobanche variou entre as variedades ao longo de um período de 3 a 30 dias. Foi observada uma infecção bastante tardia para as variedades

“…Mashiguchi and co-workers found that light-signaling-related genes are induced in Arabidopsis seedlings shortly (90 min) following exposure to GR24. 48 Analysis of roots and shoots of WT tomato plants and of the SLs-deficient tomato mutant Sl-ORT1 49,50 suggested that SLs are positive regulators of plant light harvesting. This was deduced from the list of genes induced by GR24, following 24 to 48 h of GR24 treatment, which was enriched in genes putatively associated with light harvesting.…”

Effects of different methods to control the parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel in processing tomato crops

et al. 2016

The root-parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel represents a major problem for processing tomato crops. The control of this holoparasitic plant is difficult, and better understanding of treatment methods is needed to develop new and specific control strategies. This study investigated 12 agronomic, chemical, biological and biotechnological strategies for the control of this parasitic weed, in comparison with the untreated situation. The trial was carried out in 2014 at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Environment of the University of Foggia (southern Italy), using processing tomato plants grown in pots filled with soil from a field that was heavily infested with P. ramosa. After transplantation, top dressing was performed with 70 kg ha -1 nitrogen. A randomised block design with 3 replicates (pots) was adopted. During the growing cycle of the tomato, at 70, 75, 81 and 88 days after transplantation, the number of parasitic shoots (branched plants) that had emerged in each pot was determined, and the leaf chlorophyll of the plants was measured using a soil-plantanalysis-development meter. At harvesting on 8 August 2014, the major quanti-qualitative yield parameters were determined, including marketable yield, mean weight, dry matter, soluble solids, and fruit colour. The results show lower chlorophyll levels in the parasitised tomato plants, compared to healthy plants. None of the treatments provided complete control against P. ramosa. However, among the methods tested, Radicon ® biostimulant (Radicon, Inc., Elk Grove Village, IL, USA), compost activated with Fusarium oxysporum, nitrogen and sulphur mineral fertilisers, Enzone TM soil fumigant (Elliott Chemicals Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand), and a resistant tomato genotype mitigated the virulence of the attacks of this parasite. These effects should be improved by combining some of these treatments, especially for gradual and continued reduction in the seed bank of the parasite in the soil. For the tomato yields across the different treatments, there were no significant differences seen; however, the yields showed an improving trend for treatments with lower presence of the P. ramosa weed.
