African Crop Science Journal, 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. Interruption of one or more of these signals results in failure to establish parasitism.

Identification of resistant genotypes against Striga asiatica (L.) Kuntze in kodo millet
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018 Performance of 25 pre-release cultures and 13 released varieties of kodo millet were assessed for Striga resistance under artificial inoculation. Significant variation in Striga related parameters were recorded among the evaluated genotypes.

Journal of Crop Improvement, 2021 L'identification de testeurs efficaces pour séparer les lignées consanguines de maïs (Zea mays L.) en groupes hétérotiques peut faciliter le développement d'hybrides supérieurs. Les lignées consanguines de maïs jaune résistantes aux striga développées à l'Institut international d'agriculture tropicale (IITA) n'ont pas de groupes hétérotiques bien ...

Inheritance of Striga Resistance in Cowpea Genotype B301
Crop Science, 1990 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. Of these, B301 has shown complete resistance to Striga across several countries. This study was undertaken to elucidate the genetics
