What is it about?
The current study aimed to determine the genetic diversity for Orobanche collected from two divergent locations in Egypt (Giza and Sids). The inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers were used to determine genetic relationships among and within collected groups.

Why is it important?
Orobanche crenata is an annual parasitic weed that causes heavy losses to its host crop faba bean (Vicia faba). Determining the genetic diversity in Orobanche germplasm is a preliminary crucial step in faba bean breeding.It helps in identifying liable criteria of host tolerance.
Perspectives
The breeders have to consider this high genetic variation in O. crenata when they breed faba bean for tolerance / resistance to
