References to Striga and Orobanche

There is a vast amount of literature on Orobanchaceae and parasitic Scrophulariaceae, particularly for Striga and Orobanche because of their economic importance. The references listed on each of the above pages are admittedly incomplete and eclectic; they simply represent what I (DLN) and Andrea Wolfe had on hand within our EndNote reference libraries. It's a start, but ideally there should be a concerted effort to assemble all the known literature on these important plants. If such an activity is already taking place somewhere, please let me (DLN) know about it.
