 note = {Parasitic plants have a remarkably broad host range, and cause vast damage in agriculture. Cuscuta species is one of the most widespread group of parasitic plants that subsists on various plant species, including economically important crops. Understanding the molecular basis of the parasitic processes of Cuscuta species is of critical importance to crop production. At present, however, several tools for molecular genetics and genomics in Cuscuta species have not been developed including mutant collections and whole genome sequencing. Therefore, we planned to produce ion-beam irradiated C. campestris populations on a large scale for finding the various mutants in the same genetic background. In this work, we first investigated the dose-response relationship of the rates of germination, seedling growth and parasitism to determine the irradiation dose suitable for producing a large scale of population harboring mutants and second, we examined the effects of irradiation on parasitism.},
