From a study of the parents, F1, F2 and backcross F2 seedling progenies of 9 crosses between resistant and susceptible parents, it was concluded that low stimulant production is under the control of a single recessive allele. It was not determined whether this allele was the same in the 3 resistant parents publisher: Springer date: 1990 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/2049/1/Euphytica_45_33-38_1990.pdf identifier: Ramaiah, K V and Chidley, V L and House, L R (1990) Inheritance of Striga seed-germination stimulant in sorghum.
