BecA Hub in action Project Title:
Determining Striga hermonthica genetic diversity
| Donor: | IITA |
|---|---|
| Partner/Institution: | CIMMYT, Weismann Institute, Israel |
| Project Highlight: | What genetic variations is seen in populations of Striga hermonthica from sub- Saharan Africa? Durable control of Striga hermonthica using integrated management options is dependent on the characteristics of the Striga seedbank. This collaborative project to improve our understanding of the genetic variance and dynamics of the seedbank for this serious outbreeding parasitic weed of cereals in the savannas and Sahel. |
