Population genetic structure and marker–trait associations in East and West African Striga hermonthica with varying phenotypic response to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae isolates Foxy‐2 and FK3 [PDF]

Plant Journal, 2020
SUMMARY To examine the genetic basis for the variable susceptibility of Striga hermonthica from differing zones of sub‐Saharan Africa to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (Fos) isolates Foxy‐2 and FK3, 10 S. hermonthica populations from Eastern and Western Africa were phenotyped for their susceptibility response to Foxy‐2 and FK3, and then genotyped ...

Genetic interrelationships of elite sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes bred for Striga resistance and compatibility with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp . strigae ( FOS ) revealed by microsatellites

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica - Section B Soil and Plant Science, 2021
Genetic diversity is key for breeding population development, hybrid breeding, heterotic grouping and genetic analysis, among others. The objective of this study was to examine genetic interrelationships among elite sorghum genotypes bred for resistance ...

Characterization of Maize Genotypes (Zea mays L.) for Resistance to Striga asiatica and S. hermonthica and Compatibility with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (FOS) in Tanzania [PDF]

Agronomy, 2021
Striga species cause significant yield loss in maize varying from 20 to 100%. The aim of the present study was to screen and identify maize genotypes with partial resistance to S. hermonthica (Sh) and S.

Role and In Vivo Localization of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae and Bacillus subtilis in an Integrated Striga hermonthica Biocontrol System

PhytoFrontiers, 2021
To improve the efficiency of Striga hermonthica biological control in the context of an integrated biocontrol system, the role/impact of coinoculating the mycoherbicide Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (Fos) with a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium,

Genetic analysis of the maximum germination distance of Striga under Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae biocontrol in sorghum

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2018
Maximum germination distance (MGD) is an important component of Striga resistance in sorghum. The objective of this study was to determine gene action influencing MGD of Striga hermonthica and Striga asiatica among selected sorghum lines treated with a ...

The effectiveness of local strains of Fusarium oxysporium f. Sp. Strigae to control Striga hermonthica on local maize in western Kenya

Food Science and Nutrition, 2020
Study sites for biological control of witch weed. Abstract Striga hermonthica weed infestation continues to persist among smallholder poor farmers in Kenya who depend on traditional maize (Zea mays L.) seeds for their livelihood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of five local Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.

Molecular perspectives on the ecologically inconsistent effectiveness of the mycoherbicide Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae against Striga hermonthica [PDF]

PhytoFrontiers™, 2022
Getreide ist ein wichtiges Grundnahrungsmittel, das für die Ernährungssicherheit in Afrika südlich der Sahara (SSA) von entscheidender Bedeutung ist. Leider ist das obligate halbparasitäre Sommerwurzgewächs, Striga spp., insbesondere Striga hermonthica (Delile) Benth., eine große biotische Einschränkung für die Getreideproduktion in SSA und verursacht ...

Diacetoxyscirpenol, a Fusarium exometabolite, prevents efficiently the incidence of the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Certain Fusarium exometabolites have been reported to inhibit seed germination of the cereal-parasitizing witchweed, Striga hermonthica, in vitro. However, it is unknown if these exometabolites will consistently prevent S.

Botanical microbiomes on the cheap: Inexpensive molecular fingerprinting methods to study plant‐associated communities of bacteria and fungi

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2020., 2020
High‐throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized the study of plant‐associated microbial populations, but they are relatively expensive. Molecular fingerprinting techniques are more affordable, yet yield considerably less information about the microbial community. Does this mean they are no longer useful for plant microbiome research?

Integrating Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae into cereal cropping systems in Africa

Pest Management Science, 2009
AbstractBACKGROUND: Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. (witchweed) poses the greatest biological constraint to food production in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Control options for Striga are currently largely ineffective or unavailable to farmers, and other management possibilities are urgently needed.
