Sunflower resistance to broomrape (Orobanche cumana) is controlled by specific QTLs for different parasitism stages

Orobanche cumana (sunflower broomrape) is an obligatory and non-photosynthetic root parasitic plant that specifically infects the sunflower. It is located in Europe and in Asia, where it can cause yield losses of over 80%. More aggressive races have evolved, mainly around the Black Sea, and broomrap...
