I am excited to share our latest paper on the role of strigolactone structural diversity in the host specificity and control of Striga, a major constraint to sub-Saharan agriculture |
Summary The parasitic plant genus Striga causes major yield losses to several crops such as sorghum, millet, and rice in arid and semi-arid regions of the tropics. For Striga to successfully parasitize its host plant, two conditions should be fulfilled: suitable germination conditions and the presence of a host plant that exudes so-called germination stimulants, strigolactones, that are also […] |
