Performance prediction and stability of maize hybrids in contrasting Striga environments [PDF]

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Maize yield and production are significantly hampered by Striga hermonthica, causing up to 100 % yield loss under severe infestation in Africa. This research sought to: (i) assess whether extra-early maize hybrids' yield and plant aspect performance ...

Effect of the Striga Germination Stimulant on the Respiration of Striga Seeds [PDF]

Nature, 1949
THE demonstration by Vallance1 of the effect of the stimulant solution on the respiration of Striga seeds is a matter of some importance. Vallance, however, suggests that this effect is independent of that described by Brown, Robinson and Johnson2, who showed that the Striga stimulant may promote extension growth.

Evaluating Mechanisms of Soil Microbiome Suppression of Striga Infection in Sorghum [PDF]

Bio-Protocol
The root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica has a devastating effect on sorghum and other cereal crops in Sub-Saharan Africa. Available Striga management strategies are rarely sufficient or not widely accessible or affordable.

Multi-source spatial data-based invasion risk modeling of Striga ( Striga asiatica ) in Zimbabwe

GIScience and Remote Sensing, 2020
Monitoring of destructive invasive weeds such as those from the genus Striga requires accurate, near real-time predictions and integrated assessment techniques to enable better surveillance and consistent assessment initiatives.

A powerful molecular marker to detect mutations at sorghum LOW GERMINATION STIMULANT 1 [PDF]

The Plant Genome
The parasitic weed Striga (Striga hermonthica) limits productivity of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and other cereals in sub‐Saharan Africa and elsewhere. Improved host plant genetics is an effective control method but verified loci contributing to Striga ...

Identification of QTLs for grain yield and other traits in tropical maize under Striga infestation.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Striga is an important biotic factor limiting maize production in sub-Saharan Africa and can cause yield losses as high as 100%. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) approaches hold a great potential for improving Striga resistance but requires identification

Current progress in Striga management [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2021
Abstract The Striga, particularly S. he rmonthica, problem has become a major threat to food security, exacerbating hunger and poverty in many African countries. A number of Striga control strategies have been proposed and tested during the past decade, however, further research efforts are still needed to provide sustainable and ...
