Macronutrient application rescues performance of tolerant sorghum genotypes when infected by the parasitic plant striga [PDF]

Background and Aims Infection by the hemi-parasitic plant Striga hermonthica causes severe host plant damage and seed production losses. Increased availability of essential plant nutrients reduces infection.

Behaviour and biology of Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) on Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. infested and uninfested maize plants

, 2007
Stemborers and Striga hermonthica co-exist in cereal fields in sub-Saharan Africa where together they cause crop damage that sometimes results in total crop loss. Striga alters both the chemistry and morphology of cereals and this may influence behaviour

Maize landraces are less affected by Striga hermonthica relative to hybrids in Western Kenya

, 2016
Production of maize in western Kenya is severely constrained by the parasitic weed striga. Although productivity of maize can be improved through adoption of improved varieties, adoption of such varieties remains low in the region, as the majority of ...

Strigolactone biosynthesis lgs1 mutant alleles mined from the sorghum accession panel are a promising resource of resistance to witchweed (Striga) parasitism

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Striga is a parasitic plant that greatly limits the production of Africa's most staple cereals, including sorghum. Infection occurs when the parasite germinates in response to biomolecules emitted into the soil from the host's ...

Influence of Fertilizer Microdosing on Strigolactone Production and Striga hermonthica Parasitism in Pearl Millet [PDF]

, 2014
Parasitism by the root-parasitic plant, Striga (Striga hermonthica L.), is a main threat to pearl millet production in sub-Saharan Africa and nutrient deficiency aggravates this problem, often leading to complete failure of pearl millet crops.

Resistance of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (l.) Walp.] to Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke, a parasitic angiosperm

, 1993
An in vitro growth system was used to investigate the expression of resistance of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] varieties B301 and 58-57 to the angiosperm parasite Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke.

Cumulative effects and economic benefits of intercropping maize with food legumes on Striga hermonthica infestation

, 2014
The parasitic weed Striga hermonthica, commonly known as striga, is a major biotic constraint to maize production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where it causes serious food insecurity and poverty in smallholder farming communities. We previously discovered
