Sorghum's resistance to Striga: Two key genes fight against crop parasites

Chinese scientists have identified two key genes responsible for sorghum's resistance to Striga, a parasitic plant that causes significant crop losses. The breakthrough, which also highlights the potential of AI to predict key amino acid sites in strigolactone (SL) transporters, could have wide-ranging applications in enhancing parasitic plant resistance across various crops.

Macronutrient application rescues performance of tolerant sorghum genotypes when infected by the parasitic plant striga

AbstractBackground and Aims. Infection by the hemi-parasitic plant Striga hermonthica causes severe host plant damage and seed production losses. Increased
