Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Analysis of variance showed significant variation among tropical maize genotypes for the Striga resistance traits germination distance, germination percentage and haustoria root attachments.
- Observation Analysis of variance showed significant variation among tropical maize genotypes for total Striga plants emerged, total biomass and growth rate.
- Observation There were significant differences among tropical maize genotypes for weight of cobs, leaves and stems.
- Observation There were significant differences among tropical maize genotypes for roots weight.
- Observation Broad sense heritability was fairly high, up to 61%, for most Striga resistance traits.
- Observation A t-test on stress tolerance indices found significant differences for leaves, stem and roots.
- Observation GWAS Manhattan plots showed three SNP markers on chromosomes 5, 6 and 7 associated with total Striga plants emerged in tropical maize.
- Recommendation The authors recommend that the identified markers for S. asiatica resistance be validated and used to breed for Striga resistance in tropical maize.
