Parasitic Orobanchaceae Parasitic Mechanisms and Control Strategies

Parasitic Orobanchaceae Parasitic Mechanisms and Control Strategies / edited by Daniel M. Joel, Jonathan Gressel, Lytton J. Musselman.

This book was written in response to significant recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of parasitism in the Orobanchaceae, and breakthroughs in the control of the parasitic weeds Striga and Orobanche. It consists of 26 contributions by internationally recognized leading scientists. The mai...
