Cytokinins as an alternative suicidal Striga germination compound
Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract The witchweed Striga hermonthica, an obligate and noxious root–parasitic plant, remains a persistent threat to cereal production and poses a great challenge to smallholder farmers in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Inducing suicidal germination of Striga seeds by applying strigolactone analogs is a promising strategy to deplete the Striga seed bank of ...
