Striga Management through Herbicide Resistance: A Public-Private Partnership in Action [PDF]
Striga is an indigenous parasitic weed that attacks cereals and other crops in Africa. In maize croplands alone, Striga infests over 2.3 million ha resulting in 1.6 million tons of grain loss worth US $383 million annually.

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.

Molecular marker-based genetic diversity assessment of Striga-resistant maize inbred lines
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2005 Striga-resistant maize inbred lines are of interest to maize breeding programs in the savannas of Africa where the parasitic weed is endemic and causes severe yield losses in tropical maize. Assessment of the genetic diversity of such inbred lines is useful for their systematic and efficient use in a breeding program.
