Contrasting Response Mechanisms of Maize Lines to Striga hermonthica

Agriculture, 2020
Strigahermonthica (Del.) Benth is a parasitic weed that devastates cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa. Several control measures have been proposed for the parasite, of these, host plant resistance is considered the most cost-effective for poor farmers.

Genetic variation in strigolactone production and tillering in rice and its effect on Striga hermonthica infection [PDF]

, 2011
Tillering in cereals is a complex process in the regulation of which also signals from the roots in the form of strigolactones play an important role. The strigolactones are signalling molecules that are secreted into the rhizosphere where they act as ...

Factors influencing phenomic prediction: A case study on a large sorghum back cross nested association mapping population

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Plant breeding is crucial to develop varieties able to cope with climate change and support food and feed value chains. Genomic prediction (GP) has been a major step in increasing their efficiency and recently, phenomic prediction (PP) has gained attention as a promising complementary approach to GP, potentially further increasing this ...

Identification of phytotoxic metabolites of a new Fusarium sp. inhibiting germination of Shiga hermonthica seeds

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2003
An undescribed species of Fusarium was isolated from the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica in Sudan. When grown both on liquid and solid media this strain produced toxic compounds causing the total suppression of germination of Striga seeds ...

Inheritance of Striga hermonthica adaptive traits in an earlymaturing white maize inbred line containing resistance genes from Zea diploperennis [PDF]

, 2019
Striga hermonthica can cause as high as 100% yield loss in maize depending on soil fertility level, type of genotype, severity of infestation and climatic conditions.

Challenges to the exploitation of host plant resistance for Striga management in cereals and legumes by farmers in sub-Saharan Africa: a review

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019
Striga hermonthica, Striga asiatica and Striga gesneroides are obligate root parasites that cause severe yield losses in cereals and legumes in sub-Saharan Africa. Genetic control of Striga through resistance is widely considered to be the most practical

Genetic interrelationships of elite sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes bred for Striga resistance and compatibility with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (FOS) revealed by microsatellites

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2021
Genetic diversity is key for breeding population development, hybrid breeding, heterotic grouping and genetic analysis, among others. The objective of this study was to examine genetic interrelationships among elite sorghum genotypes bred for resistance ...

Characterization of host tolerance to Striga hermonthica [PDF]

, 2006
One of the most promising control options against the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica is the use of crop varieties that combine resistance with high levels of tolerance. The aim of this study was to clarify the relation between Striga infestation level,

Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1235-1243, December 2025.
We comprehensively summarise the roles of plant cell wall in key processes of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite Cuscuta. Abstract The plant cell wall (CW) plays a crucial role in many aspects of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite, Cuscuta. Cuscuta parasitism begins with tight coiling around the host stem by the strong tensile force of the ...
