White lupin leads to increased maize yield through a soil fertility-independent mechanism: a new candidate for fighting Striga hermonthica infestation? [PDF]

, 2018
Nitrogen (N)-deficiency and lack of phosphorus (P) availability are major constraints to maize yields in Western Kenya. In a two-season field study in the lake Victoria basin, we tested the capacity of white lupin (Lupinus albus (L.), cv.

Les espèces parasites herbacées des cultures vivrières en Afrique : biologie et impact, étude au Mali. 1. Reconnaissance et biologie des espèces parasites. 2. Impact des plantes parasites d'après une étude au Mali (1991 - 1994) [PDF]

, 1997
Parmi les plantes parasites, les épirhizes se distinguent en se fixant sur les racines de la plante hôte (exemple du cycle de Striga hermonthica), les épiphytes se développent sur les organes aériens des plantes infestées, genre Topinanthus.

Chromosome-scale pearl millet genomes reveal CLAMT1b as key determinant of strigolactone pattern and Striga susceptibility

Nature Communications
The yield of pearl millet, a resilient cereal crop crucial for African food security, is severely impacted by the root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica, which requires host-released hormones, called strigolactones (SLs), for seed germination. Herein, we

Comparative Metabolomics of Early Development of the Parasitic Plants Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Triphysaria versicolor. [PDF]

, 2019
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae attach to the roots of host plants via haustoria capable of drawing nutrients from host vascular tissue. The connection of the haustorium to the host marks a shift in parasite metabolism from autotrophy to at ...
