Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol affected Striga seeds more during conditioning than after conditioning.
- Observation GA4 content rose across Striga seed conditioning.
- Observation Some gibberellin biosynthesis genes showed elevated expression during Striga conditioning.
- Intervention effect GA4 treatment shortened the conditioning needed for strigolactone-induced Striga germination.
- Intervention effect GA4 gradually alleviated inhibition of Striga GR24-induced germination by an ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor.
- Mechanism The authors conclude gibberellin is critical for conditioning and germination but only a minor Striga germination stimulant.
- Recommendation The authors propose control of endogenous gibberellin as a Striga management strategy.
