Screening Sorghum for Resistance to Striga Hermonthica (Del.) Benth

open access: yesNova Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences, 2014

Six cultivars of sorghum Abu sabien, were tested for resistance and tolerance to this root hemi-parasite by applying one of two levels of Striga infestation (2 and 4 mg/pot).

Biology of Striga hermonthica

open access: yes, 1984
Striga hermonthica (Scrophulariaceae: Rhinanthoideae) is aparasitic weed on sorghum and millet in Africa. It has not been possible, so far, to breed varieties of these crops immune to striga. Variation in many floral and vegetative features and in seed coat ornamentation indicates a diversity of genotypes within populations of hermonthica.
