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

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,

Gains in Genetic Enhancement of Early Maturing Maize Hybrids Developed during Three Breeding Periods under Striga-Infested and Striga-Free Environments [PDF]

Agronomy, 2020
Striga hermonthica is a major maize production constraint in West and Central Africa (WCA). Fifty-four early maturing maize hybrids of three breeding periods: 2008–2011, 2012–2013, 2014–2015, were evaluated under Striga-infested and non-infested environments in WCA.

Shotgun metagenomics dataset of Striga hermonthica-infested maize (Zea mays L.) rhizospheric soil microbiome

Data in Brief, 2023
This dataset includes shotgun metagenomics sequencing of the rhizosphere microbiome of maize infested with Striga hermonthica from Mbuzini, South Africa, and Eruwa, Nigeria. The sequences were used for microbial taxonomic classification and functional categories in the infested maize rhizosphere.

Methods for Soil Infestation with Striga hermonthica Seeds

Agronomy Journal, 1996
AbstractField screening of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] can be an efficient means of selecting for resistance to the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. Spatial variability in natural S. hermonthica seed infestations necessitates supplemental infestation for effective field screening.

Towards Striga-resistant Gene pool in Nigerian Pearl millet landraces [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Parasitism of crop plants by Striga species is a major constraint in the savannah zones of West Africa. A germplasm collection comprised of 240 accessions of pearl millet was screened under natural Striga hermonthica infestation to identify sources of ...
