Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Inbred lines differed significantly in attached Striga count.
- Observation Inbred lines differed significantly in emerged Striga count.
- Observation Lines differed significantly in Striga damage symptoms and other field traits.
- Association Parasite attachment correlated with emerged Striga in the screenhouse.
- Association Parasite attachment correlated with emerged Striga in the field.
- Association Parasite attachment correlated with Striga-related grain yield reduction.
- Observation New lines and the resistant check had yield losses of 0–37%.
- Observation Tolerant and susceptible checks had yield reductions of 40–85%.
- Observation Sixteen new lines supported fewer attached parasites than the susceptible check.
- Observation Some lines had fewer emerged parasites than the susceptible check.
- Observation Some lines had lower damage symptoms and yield losses.
- Recommendation The authors propose these lines for breeding resistant maize.
