Resolving intergenotypicStrigaresistance in sorghum

2022
AbstractGenetic underpinnings of host-pathogen interactions in the parasitic plantStriga hermonthica,a root parasitic plant that ravages cereals in sub-Saharan Africa, are unclear. We performed a comparative transcriptome study on five genotypes of sorghum exhibiting diverse resistance responses toS. hermonthicausing weighted gene co-expression network

Striga hermonthica resistance in upland rice

Crop Protection, 1993
Abstract Upland rice breeding lines were evaluated in field trials for resistance to the obligate hemi-root parasite Striga hermonthica at two sites in Kenya in 1990 and 1991. The lines differed in their reaction to S. hermonthica ranging from highly resistant to extremely susceptible.

Genetic effect of Striga resistance in sorghum genotypes

Euphytica, 2017
Striga is an important parasitic weed causing substantial economic losses in cereal and legume crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. Integrated Striga management approaches such as a combined use of Striga resistant varieties and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.

Striga Resistance in the Wild Relatives of Sorghum

Crop Science, 2004
Witchweeds (Striga spp.) are noxious parasitic weeds that cause considerable crop damage in the semiarid tropics. Genetic control of striga is effective, although sources of resistance are limited in most crops. Useful resistance sources have been obtained in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], an important host crop that has coevolved with the ...

Response of IITA maize inbred lines bred for Striga hermonthica resistance to Striga asiatica and associated resistance mechanisms in southern Africa

Euphytica, 2019
Striga spp. is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa causing up to 100% yield loss equating to US$ 7 billion. Striga asiatica (with red flowers) is found in southern Africa while Striga hermonthica (with purple flowers) is found in east and west Africa. At the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, resistance to S.

Resistance to Striga parasitism through reduction of strigolactone exudation

Cell
Parasitism with Striga poses a major threat to global food production. Striga germination and growth rely on strigolactones (SLs) exuded by crop roots under phosphate (Pi)-deficient conditions, although the mechanism of this host-parasite interaction remains elusive.
