This study aims to evaluate the toxic effects of Fusarium oxysporum on root parasitic weed, Orobanche spp. Comparative genetic and gene expression studies were conducted on uninfected and fungus-infected orobanches. In genetic studies, isolated total DNA was amplified by RAPD PCR. Fragment
The genus Orobanche includes about 100 different species. Among them, Orobanche crenata Forssk. (Orobanchaceae family), commonly known as broomrape, is a holoparasitic plant, noxious to legume crops that inhabits mainly in the Mediterranean basin. The aim of this review is to evaluate
UV radiation is the primary cause of skin photoaging, which results in an increase in matrix metalloproteinases and degradation of collagen. Developing new natural antioxidant as photoprotective agents has become a popular area of research. Orobanche cernua Loefling is a parasitic plant that is rich
We aimed to assess the antitumor activity of Orobanche crenata methanolic extract and evaluate its cytotoxic effect on different cancer cell lines to develop an effective natural anticancer drug. Components of O. crenata methanolic extract were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass
Two new phenylpropanoid glycosides, caerulescenoside ( 1), and 3'-methyl crenatoside ( 2), as well as five known phenylpropanoid glycosides [acteoside ( 3), isoacteoside ( 4), campneoside II ( 5), crenatoside ( 6), and desrhamnosyl acteoside ( 7)] were isolated from the whole plant of Orobanche
The present review gives an overview about natural products from the holoparasitic genus Orobanche (Orobanchaceae). We cover both genuine natural products as well as compounds sequestered by Orobanche taxa from their host plants. However, the distinction between these two categories is not always
Ethnopharmacological relevance: The genus Orobanche consists of annual, biennial or perennial fleshy parasitic herb species, many of which are in use as traditional medicines and wild gathered foods since a long time. Recently, Orobanche
There are about 200 holoparasitic broomrapes (Orobanchaceae) known worldwide, however, only several species have been so far investigated phytochemically. Among Orobanche s.l. are both rare and endangered species, as well as onerous crop pests. This study aims to give a phytochemical description,
Globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. subsp. [L.] scolymus Hayek), summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.) are widely cultivated for their immature inflorescences, fruits and seeds, respectively. Nevertheless, in some areas of Puglia (Southern Italy), other organs of these
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to haemolysis and eventually to diseases such as thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia. Their action can be counteracted by the antihaemolytic activity of therapeutic agents. The aim of our study was to identify plants that most efficiently counteract ROS-caused
