Techniques for Screening Sorghums for Resistance to Striga [PDF]

, 1985
Striga is a root parasite of cereals and legumes which causes serious losses to host crops. Breeding genotypes of host crops wi th resistance to this parasite is recognized as the most economic way to combat Striga.

Inheritance of Striga resistance in cowpea genotype B301

, 2018
The parasitic weed, Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke, is a major constraint in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] production semi-arid regions of sub-Sahara Africa. Several sources of resistance have been identified.

Host-Parasite Interactions Throughout the Striga Life Cycle, and their Contributions to Striga Resistance

, 2011
Field screening for resistance to Striga has been slow and difficult, with only modest success. Successful Striga parasitism is dependent upon a series of chemical signals produced by its host.

Effects of Striga (Striga hermonthica) Infestation on the Concentration of Secondary Metabolites and Quantity of Nutritional Components in Sorghum

International Journal of Agronomy
Seventy-five (75) sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotypes were evaluated to determine the effects of Striga hermonthica infestation (0, 0.25, and 5 mg seed pot−1) on secondary metabolites and grain nutritional composition.
