The parasitic angiosperms, Striga hermonthica and S. gesnerioides, obligate root parasites endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, constitute severe constraints to cereal and legume production in West and Central Africa. Over the years, a range of effective component technologies has been identified for S...
An extra-early maturing white-grained, flint/dent maize (Zea mays L.) population, TZEE-W Pop STR C4 (Reg. No. GP-576; PI 657704), has been developed at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture. The population has moderate levels of resistance to Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. It was ...
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...
For the first time in sterile nutrient media in the absence of the host plant, different forms and rates of nitrogen compounds were screened for their effect on S. hermonthica Benth. shoot development beyond seed germination. There was no shoot formation beyond the inoculation stages when S. herm...
IITA has been breeding maize for Striga tolerance/resistance (STR) since 1982. Populations of Striga hermonthica from Nigeria have been used to challenge maize germplasm. Initially (1982-1984), field screening was done under natural infestation, but variability both within sites and across years ...
Information on current progress in the refinement of screening techniques identification of resistant germplasm and breeding lines and assessment of crop losses due to striga attack is presented. A new laboratory-cum-pot steel mesh roll technique which permits interaction of stimulants with soil ...
