Plant Parasitism and Resistance
Plant Parasitism and Resistance is a research topic within Plant Science. Science Explorer counts 38k research works in it since 1950. 36.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the role of strigolactones, a group of plant hormones, in signaling pathways related to shoot branching, root development, mycorrhizal symbiosis, and interactions with parasitic plants. It investigates their biosynthesis, perception, and effects on plant responses to environmental stresses. The research also delves into the molecular mechanisms and evolutionary significance of strigolactone signaling.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
