GWAS provides biological insights into mechanisms of the parasitic plant (Striga) resistance in sorghum
Abstract Background Sorghum yields in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are greatly reduced by parasitic plants of the genus Striga (witchweed). Vast global sorghum genetic diversity collections, as well as the availability of modern sequencing technologies, can be potentially harnessed to effectively manage...
