An in vitro growth system was used to determine the virulence of two samples of Striga gesnerioides from Zakpota in southern Benin. Cowpea variety B301, previously considered resistant to all races of S. gesnerioides, was susceptible to both samples of the parasite. Two other cowpea varieties, 58...

Virulence characteristics of a new race of the parasitic angiosperm, Sriga gesnerioides, from southern Benin on cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)
Two parasitic weeds, Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii Benth., cause heavy yield losses in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) throughout the semiarid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Several sources of resistance have been identified, including B 301, a landrace from Botswan...

Inheritance of Alectra resistance in cowpea in genotype B 301
The parasitic weeds Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelli (Benth.) cause considerable demage to cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] in the semiarid regions of Africa. Systematic screening has revealed few cowpea varieties to be resistant. Of these, B 301 is resistant to both st...
