Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Striga infection caused genotype dependent biomass losses in sorghum.
- Intervention effect Striga infection decreased maximum photosynthesis rate, carboxylation and photosystem II efficiency.
- Intervention effect Striga infection increased leaf ABA concentration.
- Observation Six named genotypes were classified as sensitive because their morphology or physiology was severely affected.
- Observation SRN39, IS9830 and Tetron were resistant, with low Striga emergence.
- Observation Tetron was also tolerant based on reduced morphological effects of Striga.
- Association Tolerant genotypes had a higher orobanchol to 5‐deoxystrigol and/or sorgomol ratio in root exudates.
