We have analyzed the dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) extracts of seeds of dry and conditioned Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., S. aspera (Willd.) Benth., and S. gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke by means of gas chromatography (GC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). Sixteen compounds were identified on the ba...

The herbicide imazaquin was tested for efficacy in striga gesnerioides and Alectra vogelii control when applied as a cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seed treatment. Four sets of experiments were conducted in the laboratory and screenhouse. Two cowpea cultivar, three geographical isolates of S. gesneri...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important source of protein in Africa, but production is hindered by the parasitic plant Striga gesnerioides. Crop rotation with non-host cultivars, selected to stimulate parasite seed germination, is being used successfully to control other Striga spp. and may ha...

The two known cadinanes 2-hydroxy-8α-hydroxycalamenene and 2-hydroxy-8α-angeloyloxycalamenene were isolated from a Louisiana population of Heterotheca subaxillaris. Their 13C NMR spectra were fully assigned by the application of HETCOR, COLOC, COSY, NOESY and DEPT experiments. It was shown on the...

This 6th symposium on parasitic plants was held in Spain in 1996 during which 101 papers were read, divided into 6 headings, including evolution and population structure, form, structure, biochemistry and physiology of the parasitic plant. The relationship between parasite and host, including met...

Taxonomic studies of the taxa clustered about Striga asiatica, S. hermonthica, and S. gesnerioides are presented based on a cladistic study of African plants. The S. asiatica cluster includes S. elegans, S. hirsuta, and S. lutea. Striga asiatica is considered to be derived from a native species n...
