- Abstract
The I Striga i life cycle depends on host-derived signals: strigolactones trigger I Striga i seed germination ([5]; [10]; [26]; [6], [7], Preprint), while haustorium-inducing factors enable formation of the penetrative structure from the I Striga i radicle ([3]). Keywords: Cell type-specific defence; cell wall-based resistance; hypersensitive response; inducible defence; lignin; parasitic plants; post-attachment resistance; Striga EN Cell type-specific defence cell wall-based resistance hypersensitive response inducible defence lignin parasitic plants post-attachment resistance Striga 4903 4909 7 09/15/23 20230913 NES 230913 Parasitic plants of the I Striga i species significantly damage cereals in sub-Saharan Africa. Role of the defence mechanisms in post-attachment resistance against parasitic plants Natural variation in sorghum cultivar resistance to I Striga i can be used to elucidate target pathways to enhance resistance. Intercropping maize cultivars that are I Striga i resistant and herbicide resistant with legume crops has suppressed I Striga i seed germination and reduced the I Striga i seed bank in the soil ([20]).
