Cover Story: Broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are holoparasitic weeds that infect important crops. Using haustoria formed on their radicles, these weeds take water and nutrients from a crop, causing severe yield losses, the control of which is limited. Alternative control methods include radicle growth inhibition using specialized metabolites from natural sources. With this perspective a complex mixture of arvensic acids was isolated and identified, through chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, as the metabolites responsible for the inhibitory activity of the allelopathic plant Convolvulus arvensis. This finding paves the way for the synthesis of new bioherbicides and could contribute to the development of new sustainable management strategies. View this paper
