The faba bean (Vicia faba) is a temperate grain legume, that regaining interest due to the high demand for food and feed uses environmental services provided. parasitic weed broomrape (Orobanche crenata) appears as major constraint agricultural production in Mediterranean Basin. yield stability can be managed by adjusting agronomic practices breeding adaptation. In this study, we compared perfo...

Pea (Pisum sativum) is an important grain legume crop whose cultivation in the Mediterranean basin and West Asia is severely constrained by infection by the weedy root parasite Orobanche crenata (crenate broomrape). Pea is a false host of other species such as O. minor, O. foetida and Phelipanche aegyptiaca. In the present experiments, we demonstrate that seed germination of the Orobanche and P...
