In field trials conducted in Nigeria during 1991-92, the factors affecting the seed dispersal of Striga spp. were evaluated. Petrolatum-coated microscope slides placed at regular intervals from S. hermonthica plants and suspended from trees at 1-, 2- and 3-m above-ground heights within and around...

The high field1H and13C resonances of obacunone were established by a series of I D and 2D NMR experiments. The13C-NMR signals of the five tertiary methyl groups and all quatenary carbons were unambiguously assigned. The results confirm the stereochemical assignments at all stereogenic centres.

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. is an obligate, root-parasitic, flowering plant that limits cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa.Successful control depends on eliminating its seed reserves in soil, thereby preventing parasitism. Striga hermonthica seeds germinate only if adequately conditione...

Seed treatments with two acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides, the sulfony- lurea herbicide nicosulfuron and the imidazolinone herbicide imazaquin, controlled the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica in corn. The XA-17 gene in ALS-modified P3180IR corn strongly reduced corn injury from ...

Striga is a weed known to be devastating to crops in the tropics. Yield reductions in maize of up to 90% have been observed in West Africa. In September 1994, a seed lot of Striga hermonthica (harvested in 1993 in sorghum fields in Abuja, Nigeria) was observed to have a very low germination rate ...

A collection of 64 accessions of the South American pasture legume Aeschynomene histrix Poiret was characterized in 1995 at Ibadan in south-west Nigeria in order to test the potential of the accessions as forage plants in subhumid areas and as a trap crop for the parasitic plant Striga hermonthic...

During the rainy season of 1991, severely reduced plant stands and severely stunted plants were observed in several fields of the cover crop Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. var. utilis (Wallich ex Wight) Baker ex Burck at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Ibadan, Nigeria. Initial ou...

Striga aspera and Striga hermonthica are recognized as separate species, but their close morphological similarity causes difficulty in distinguishing between them in areas where they coexist in Africa. In this study, crosses between the species were made using randomly selected morphologically ty...

Striga aspera and S. hermonthica are sympatric in Africa. Each may serve as virulent gene reservoirs for the other if they hybridize and their hybrids are virulent and fertile. Intraspecific and interspecific crosses were made within and between the species, and reproductive success was determine...

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...
