Resistance to Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. in sorghum
Striga hermonthica is a serious agronomic pest in the semi-arid savannas of Africa. It is the most destructive weed occurring in African sorghum fields and, excluding bird predation, may be the single most important sorghum yield loss factor.

Striga weeds constitute a significant bottleneck to profitable maize (Zea mays L) production and food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Annual yield loss from Striga infestation of African crops has been estimated at US $7 billion in the savannah region of
