Genetic variation and host-parasite specificity of Striga resistance and tolerance in rice: the need for predictive breeding [PDF]
The parasitic weeds Striga asiatica and Striga hermonthica cause devastating yield losses to upland rice in Africa. Little is known about genetic variation in host resistance and tolerance across rice genotypes, in relation to virulence differences ...
