Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br., 2n = 2x = 14) is a nutritionally rich and climate-resilient food crop cultivated globally. It is a crucial staple crop in Burkina Faso and the dry Sahel region, encompassing Niger, Mali, and Senegal. However, the yield of pearl millet is relatively low in the region (

Tropical grasses vary in their resistance to Striga aspera, Striga hermonthica, and their hybrids
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1998The genus Striga contains some of the most damaging parasitic plant species of the world, and it causes large problems in agricultural systems of Africa and Asia. Effective, cheap, and easy applicable methods for Striga control do not yet exist. One method with great potential may be the use of resistant crops.

Striga hermonthica infests cereal crops, particularly maize, leading to severe yield reduction. In Tanzania, maize is grown on about 2 million hectares but the yield obtained is very low, estimated at 1.3 tons ha–1; this is due to various factors including striga weeds. The control measures used have not been effective.

Expression of mature plant resistance to Striga hermonthica in maize
Euphytica, 2000Twelve maize genotypes with different degrees of resistance were evaluated in plots inoculated with seeds of the phytoparasite Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. and in Striga-free (control) plots for three seasons between 1991 and 1993. Resistant genotypes, although showing similar levels of underground infection as susceptible 9 weeks after maize ...

Resistance of sorghum varieties to Striga hermonthica
Tropical Science, 2003AbstractFour local sorghum varieties, Idon Makaho, Ex‐Dapchi, Ex‐Pulka, and War‐warabashi, and two improved varieties, ICVS 1002 and ICVS 1007, were tested for resistance to Striga hermonthica in the 1997 and 1998 rainy seasons. There was no significant difference in the number of emerged Striga shoots in 1997, but in 1998 ICSV 1002 and ICSV 1007 had ...
