Research Abstract |
Several species of root parasitic plants in Orobanchaceae cause serious problem in agriculture in Africa or Mediterranean region. Unfortunately, there is no practical method for selective control of these noxious weeds. In this project, we have proposed a novel method for selective control of the parasites based on metabolomics and conducted translational research to develop the protocol. Accordingly, an unique metabolic pathway and related enzymes were found as possible targets for selective control
