“…Once Cuscuta attaches to a crop, some yield loss will occur regardless of the method of control, and selective control becomes very difficult (Lanini and Kogan 2005). Preemergence herbicides (soil applied before crop emergence), such Compiled from Aly et al (2003), Gressel et al (2004), Lanini 2004, Lee andTimmons 1956. a Loss includes sorghum, millets, and maize.…”

On a worldwide basis, parasitic weeds represent one of the most destructive and intractable problems to agricultural production in both developed and developing countries. About 20 families (3,000-5,000 species) of higher plants are parasitic on the plant kingdom and may cause production losses of 30-80% in staple food and industrial crops on every continent. Compared with the other weeds, parasitic weeds are difficult to control by conventional means because of their life style: Parasites are intimately involved with the host and have so much metabolic overlap with the host that differential treatments are very difficult to develop. In some cases, the parasites are closely associated to the host root, concealed underground, and undiagnosed until they irreversible damage the crop. Several different approaches (cultural, mechanical, chemical, use of resistant varieties, and biological) to control parasitic weeds are currently in use, but are only partially successful. Recent reviews have covered the physiology and interactions between parasitic plants and their hosts, taxonomy, and the biology and classical control of parasitic weeds. The current review will discuss why alternative methods are needed to control parasitic weeds and will summarize conventional and new biotechnologybased control measures against the major world pests Striga, Orobanche, Cuscuta, and mistletoes (Phoradendron and Viscum genera). Effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages, environment safety, and simplicity of these new biotechnological methods will be reviewed.

“…Dodder seedlings attached to alfalfa stems were monitored at 10 day intervals for two months after emergence (Sarpe et al, 1992;Lanini and Kogan, 2005;Mishra et al, 2007). Alfalfa was cut for clean up in the first year and no data obtained, during 1 st year of establishment and obtained in the following years.…”

This study aimed to determine the most appropriate control methods for smoothseed alfalfa dodder (Cuscuta approximata Bab.), infesting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in Van, Turkey. The effects of imazethaphyr and imazamox herbicides and their application times, including three cutting heights of alfalfa, on controlling dodder were investigated. The study had a split-plot design with four replications, and the trial was conducted under field conditions from 2010 to 2013. The results indicated that pre-emergence applications of imazethaphyr, pre-and post-emergence applications of imazamox, suppressed dodder during the first year after application; however, the effect decreased in the following years. In 2013, a substantial decrease in the hay yield and raw protein ratio of alfalfa was found. In addition, the control of dodder was not significantly affected by different cutting heights.

Herb dodder (Cuscuta spp.) is one of the most important parasitic plants that can severely affect crop yields in the world. So far, interactions of this parasitic plant with hosts were not investigated adequately. Here, we conducted a differential expression analyzes and identified a number of genes that were differentially expressed in haustorium tissue compared with the stem of Cuscuta campestris growing on Alfalfa. We obtained 439 cDNA fragments from haustoria (parasite-host connection zone) and stems (25 cm away from connections zones) using the cDNA-AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) method with eight different primer combinations. Of 439 transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) that were detected, 145 fragments were identified as differentially expressed genes. Five TDF sequences were similar to known functional genes involved in signal transduction, metabolism, respiration, and stress responses. Genes encoding DEAD-box ATP-dependent RNA helicase, potential heme-binding protein, lysine-specific demethylase 5A were selected for qRT-PCR. The qRT-PCR analyzes confirmed the results obtained using cDNA-AFLP. Our findings shed light on the elicitation of dodder defense responses in the connection zone to overcome plant defense reactions.
