Post‐attachment resistance to Striga hermonthica in finger millet (Eleusine coracana)
Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract Finger millet is a highly nutritious and climate‐resilient cereal crop. Despite its importance, finger millet productivity in East Africa trails other cereals due to several biotic and abiotic factors, including the parasitic weed, Striga hermonthica. Striga spp.

Strigolactones as an auxiliary hormonal defence mechanism against leafy gall syndrome in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2015 Leafy gall syndrome is the consequence of modified plant development in response to a mixture of cytokinins secreted by the biotrophic actinomycete Rhodococcus fascians. The similarity of the induced symptoms with the phenotype of plant mutants defective

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract Root parasitic weeds of the genera Striga, Orobanche, and Phelipanche cause enormous economic losses for farmers the world over. Germination of the seeds of these species requires a chemotropic signal in the form of strigolactones in the soil.

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract Plants are exposed to infection and predation by organisms from most kingdoms of life, including their own. Layers of molecular defence mechanisms have evolved to limit damage and disease from microbial and insect pathogens, and plants can also defend themselves against attack by members of their own kingdom.

A role for strigolactones in the genetic variation in tolerance to Striga infection in sorghum
Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract The root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica is a major constraint to cereal production in sub‐Saharan Africa. Tolerance to Striga—guaranteeing a reasonable yield despite infection—is potentially a valuable trait to curtail crop yield losses. However, the mechanisms underlying tolerance are not well understood, making selection for the trait ...
