Modern Breeding Approaches for Durable Resistance Against the Parasitic Plant Striga [PDF]

Afrika Focus, 2019
Crop losses caused by parasitic plants of the genus Striga pose a great danger to the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers in Africa. The parasite attaches to host crops and siphons nutrients leading to severe retardation and crop death. Controlling Striga is difficult because of the parasite’s ability to produce large amounts of seeds that ...

Factors influencing phenomic prediction: A case study on a large sorghum back cross nested association mapping population

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Plant breeding is crucial to develop varieties able to cope with climate change and support food and feed value chains. Genomic prediction (GP) has been a major step in increasing their efficiency and recently, phenomic prediction (PP) has gained attention as a promising complementary approach to GP, potentially further increasing this ...

Inheritance of Resistance to Striga in Sorghum Genotype SRN39 [PDF]

Plant Breeding, 1992
Abstract Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., a parasitic weed of grasses, causes major yield reductions in the principal cereal crops of semi‐arid Africa. Cultivar resistance is the most economic control measure, since adapted, resistant cultivars can be grown without additional input from the subsistence farmer. Information on the genetics of resistance

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 8 in tomato provides resistance against the parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca. [PDF]

, 2019
Broomrapes (Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Orobanche spp.) are obligate plant parasites that cause extreme damage to crop plants. The parasite seeds have strict requirements for germination, involving preconditioning and exposure to specific chemicals ...

Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1235-1243, December 2025.
We comprehensively summarise the roles of plant cell wall in key processes of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite Cuscuta. Abstract The plant cell wall (CW) plays a crucial role in many aspects of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite, Cuscuta. Cuscuta parasitism begins with tight coiling around the host stem by the strong tensile force of the ...

In vitro dynamic and quantitative monitoring of strigolactone‐signaling complex formation by time‐resolved FRET

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 5, December 2025.
We developed a new in vitro method using time‐resolved FRET to evaluate the dynamic activation of the strigolactone (SL) receptors. This system was used to gain deeper insights into the molecular mechanism of SL‐signaling complex formation and to detect naturally occurring SLs.

How to produce more biomass for direct seeding mulched based cropping system in sub-saharian Africa ? Example in North Cameroun [PDF]

, 2010
In North Cameroon, from 2001 to 2006, more than 250 farmers tried direct seeding mulchbased cropping systems (DMC) in their fields. DMC systems were based on farmer traditional rotation i.e. cereal//cotton.
