Breeding strategy for resistance to Striga asiatica (L.) Kuntze based on genetic diversity and population structure of tropical maize (Zea mays L.) lines

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple crop in southern Africa and is produced on millions of hectares. However, its yield is greatly reduced by Striga spp. a witchweed which is causing US$ 7 billion losses annually. Use of host resistance could be an effective way of controlling Striga spp. and resi...
