New Jersey Medical School

and is one of only eight of its kind currently funded by the NCI (competitive renewal in 2010). This program, which has been continuously funded by the NCI for 41 years, provides a unique eight-week research experience for New Jersey Medical School's first and second-year medical students as well as undergraduate students enrolled in our combined BS/MD seven-year program. This year 21 medical s...

Host-specific races in the holoparasitic angiosperm Orobanche minor: implications for speciation in parasitic plants.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Orobanche minor is a root-holoparasitic angiosperm that attacks a wide range of host species, including a number of commonly cultivated crops. The extent to which genetic divergence among natural populations of O. minor is influenced by host specificity has not been determined previously. Here, the host specificity of natural populations of O. minor is quantified for the fir...

Investigation of Amino Acids As Herbicides for Control of Orobanche minor Parasitism in Red Clover

Certain amino acids induce inhibitory effects in plant growth due to feedback inhibition of metabolic pathways. The inhibition patterns depend on plant species and the plant developmental stage. Those amino acids with inhibitory action on specific weeds could be utilized as herbicides, however, their use for weed control has not been put into practice. Orobanche minor is a weed that parasitizes...
