Pre‐attachment resistance to the parasitic plants Striga hermonthica and S. asiatica occurs in sorghum mutants designated low germination stimulant 1 (lgs1). However, only a few of these mutants have been identified and their resistance validated. Additionally, pre‐attachment resistance in sorghum beyond lgs1 mutants has not been explored. We used lgs1‐specific markers to identify new lgs1‐like mutants in a diverse global sorghum collection. The sorghum collection was also evaluated for pre‐attachment resistance against Striga using an in vitro assay that measured Striga germination activity and radicle growth.

适应非洲农业生态的新型附着前抗Striga高粱

寄生植物的预附接电阻斯特赖加hermonthica和S.草发生在指定高粱突变体低发芽兴奋剂1（LGS1）。然而，仅这些突变体中的少数已被鉴定并证实了其抗性。此外，尚未探索除lgs1突变体以外的高粱附着前抗性。我们使用了lgs1特异的标记，在多样化的全球高粱中鉴定出了新的lgs1样突变体。还使用测量Striga的体外测定法评估了高粱收集物对Striga的附着前抗性 发芽活性和胚根生长。
