Prevalence and Socioeconomic Impact of Striga (Striga hermonthica) in Sorghum Producing Areas of East and West Hararghe Zones, Oromia, Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy, 2022
Striga is one of the biotic constraints limiting the production and productivity of sorghum in tropical Africa, particularly in Ethiopia. A field survey was conducted in the eastern and western Hararghe zones in six districts in the 2019 cropping season ...

Germplasm Bred for Resistance to Striga hermonthica Exhibited High Resistance Levels to Striga asiatica Compared to Commercial Checks

Advances in Agriculture, 2021
Parasitic weeds belonging to the Orobanchaceae family are a menace in Sub-Saharan African (SSA). Specifically, the two witchweeds from the genus Striga, S. hermonthica and S.

Aqueous extracts from indigenous plant in Burkina Faso with bio-herbicide properties to reduce Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth propagation

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022
Background The genus Striga includes 11 parasitic plants species of food crops in at least 50 African countries. Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. is a major biotic constraint to the cereal crops production in Africa.

Reproductive Ability of Hybrids of Striga aspera and Striga hermonthica [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 1998
Striga aspera and S. hermonthica are sympatric in Africa. Each may serve as virulent gene reservoirs for the other if they hybridize and their hybrids are virulent and fertile. Intraspecific and interspecific crosses were made within and between the species, and reproductive success was determined.

Effectiveness of Yellow Maize Testers with Varying Resistance Reactions to Striga hermonthica for Evaluating the Combining Ability of Maize Inbred Lines

Agronomy, 2020
The choice of an appropriate tester is important for success in resistance hybrid breeding programs. Limited information is available on the most suitable testers that allow the selection of yellow endosperm maize inbred lines with good combining ability

Striga seed-germination activity of root exudates and compounds present in stems of Striga host and nonhost (trap crop) plants is reduced due to root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. [PDF]

, 2009
Root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi reduces stimulation of seed germination of the plant parasite Striga (Orobanchaceae). This reduction can affect not only host plants for Striga, resulting in a lower parasite incidence, but also ...

Cloning and characterisation of a maize carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (ZmCCD1) and its involvement in the biosynthesis of apocarotenoids with various roles in mutualistic and parasitic interactions [PDF]

, 2008
Colonisation of maize roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi leads to the accumulation of apocarotenoids (cyclohexenone and mycorradicin derivatives).

Strigolactones are chemoattractants for host tropism in Orobanchaceae parasitic plants

Nature Communications, 2022
Parasitic plants are able to grow towards potential hosts. Here the authors show that strigolactones produced by the host plants can act as chemoattractants for the root parasites Phtheirospermum japonicum and Striga hermonthica.
