"Breeding for Striga resistance at ICRISAT Center, near Hyderabad, India, has the twin\r\nobjectives of identifying sorghum source lines resistant to Striga asiatica and transfering the\r\nresistance to agronomically elite lines; 14 000 sorghum germplasm lines have been\r\nscreened in the laboratory for their stimulant production and 640 low-stimulant lines have\r\nbeen identified. Studies on the genetics of stimulant production have indicated a\r\npreponderance of additive over nonadditive genetic variance. Selection for field resistance\r\namong the derivatives from Striga-resistant source lines x adapted crosses resulted in a\r\nhigher proportion of field resistants in the low-stimulant than in the high-stimulant derivatives.\r\nIn multilocation testing of the source lines, field reaction indicated that the best available low\r\nsusceptible lines are N-13, 555, IS-4202, IS-7471, and IS-9985. The technique of growing\r\ntest plants of the host in shallow seed pans in a soil medium has been found useful in\r\ndifferentiating resistant from susceptible host plants. An improved, three-stage system of\r\nscreening for field resistance to Striga is described. Initial studies on Striga collected from\r\nfive locations in India and four sorghum varieties indicated significant strain x variety\r\ninteractions and SRN-4882B gave differential reaction. Intensive studies on host-parasite\r\nrelationships, environmental interactions influencing Striga, screening methodology, guidelines\r\nto manage Striga sick fields, and surveys to understand species and race complexes\r\nhave been projected as some of the priority areas of Striga research."^^ .
