Witchweed’s Suicidal Germination: Can Slenderleaf Help?

Witchweed’s Suicidal Germination: Can Slenderleaf Help?

The parasitic plant <i>Striga hermonthica</i> (Delile) Benth. is stimulated to germinate by biomolecules (strigolactones) produced in the roots of host and some non-host plants. Non-hosts induce <i>Striga</i>’s suicidal germination and are therefore used as trap crops. Among...
