“…Xu et al (2016b) first reported on broomrape wilt caused by Plectosphaerella cucumerina in Inner Mongolia, China, and found P. cucumerina is much more aggressive on broomrape than it is on sunflower. Zhang et al (2018) firstly reported the stem rot of sunflower broomrape caused by Sclerotinia minor Jagger in Inner Mongolia, China, this finding may broaden our knowledge on both S. minor and O. cumana. To clarify the genetic relationship between broomrape isolates, 96 samples were collected from different provinces in China, 12 ISSR markers were selected based on their polymorphism and used to study population genetic diversity.…”
Broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) is a holoparasitic plant which parasites sunflower roots. The infected sunflower plants are smaller, have a reduced kernel/husk ratio and yield decreases dramatically. It has become a severe problem for sunflower production all over the world. In recent years, due to importation of sunflower hybrid seeds, frequent local seed transportation and insufficient plant quarantine, broomrape widely occurs in sunflower production areas of China. This review addresses recent research progress on sunflower broomrape in China, focusing on occurrence, potential damage, seed germination mechanisms, physiological race identification, integrated control and breeding of resistant sunflowers. This review should provide useful reference information for future research and also integrated control of sunflower broomrape.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
