Expression of a Defense-Related 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl CoA Reductase Gene in Response to Parasitization by Orobanche spp.

Orobanche spp. are angiosperms that live parasitically on the roots of other plants, and are capable of significantly reducing the yield and quality of their crop hosts. We have demonstrated that parasitization by Orobanche induces expression of hmg2, a defense-related isogene of 3-hydroxy-3-methylg...
