abstract: Eleven populations of witchweed, Striga hermonthica,
were collected in four regions of Mali and
investigated with 12 microsatellite markers. Extensive
genetic diversity was observed, with most plants heterozygous
for most markers. Allelic diversity was broadly
distributed across populations with little genetic differentiation
and large amounts of gene flow. Nearby fields of pearl
millet and sorghum were found to have indistinguishable
witchweed populations. Some population structure was
apparent, but did not correlate with the local environment
or host genotype, suggesting that seed transportation or
other human-driven variables act to differentiate central
Malian S. hermonthica populations from southern Malian
populations.
