Convergent losses of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in carnivorous plants
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2040-2051, November 2025.Summary Most land plants form the ancient arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, while carnivory is a younger trait that evolved in several angiosperm orders. The two biotic interactions similarly help plants acquire mineral nutrients, raising the question of whether they can coexist.

Identification of new maize inbred lines with resistance to Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth.
Journal of Crop Protection, 2012 Striga hermonthica is a noxious, obligate hemi-parasite of cereal grasses that causes severe grain yield loss in susceptible maize cultivars in Africa. The development of host plant resistance is one of the most practical Stiga control strategies.

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,
