Abstract

In the present study, potential allelopathic effects of soybean sprouts extract (SSE) on branched broomrape [Philpanche ramosa L. (Pr) syn. Orobanche ramosa] germination was investigated. We observed that using an optimised [50% (v/v)] concentration of SSE (referred as SSE50) as a pre-conditioning/priming-agent, an induced germination of Pr in concomitant with de novo RNA synthesis and a gene-specific enhanced expression of early germination marker-gene, abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase (PrCYP707A1) was observed. Subsequent experiments were conducted to investigate the potential transcriptional and post-transcriptional alterations of PrCYP707A1 linked with SSE50 induced germination of Pr. Our findings from run-on and mRNA chase assays indicated that SSE50-primed Pr seeds showed a relatively enhanced transcriptional rate of PrCYP707A1, without affecting its mRNA turnover. Overall, SSE50 is proposed as a inducer of de novo RNA synthesis as well as gene-specific transcriptional rate of PrCYP707A1, which could be further examined as a sustainable component in the management of broomrape infestations.
