Why is it important?

Phelipanche aegyptiaca is a parasitic weed all over the world, and no effective metod was developed. A very important characteristic is that the seeds won't germinate until host exist. Reducing the seeds bank seems a potential and perspective method. However, the menchanism of its germination is still unkown.

Perspectives

According the results, the key of the Phelipanche aegyptiaca seed germination is GA biosynthesis and ABA degragation.
