"Among the biotic stresses affecting dryland cereals, especially sorghum, Striga hermonthica is the\r\nmost damaging obligate parasite, and is an important bottleneck to yield increases by smallholder farmers,\r\nyet it has been neglected by research in recent years. Integrated Striga management packages have\r\nbeen designed, but these will continue to require new cultural and chemical treatments, resistant varieties,\r\nand integrated approaches to manage both Striga and soil fertility. This review attempts to assess\r\nrecent advances in bioassay development that are specific to resistance mechanisms, genomics such as\r\nNew Generation Sequencing tools, RNA interference (RNAi) technologies in advancing knowledge of\r\nresistance and susceptibility to Striga including diversity in striga populations, and molecular marker\r\ntechnology in accelerating the development of Smga-resistant cultivars of sorghum. Recent advances\r\nin developing effective bioassays involving several modifications of rhizotrons and sand-packed titer\r\nplate assay will help dissect resistance mechanisms into component traits and increased understanding\r\nof the specific resistance mechanisms, which will directly help in efficient introgression and selection\r\nof several striga resistance mechanisms in breeding population. The current studies for identification of\r\nparasite genes specifically involved in haustorigenesis through transcriptomic and/or prote'omic studies\r\nand more recently RNAseq studies will help understand susceptibility or resistance genes in striga.\r\nRelease of improved version of cultivars resistant to striga developed by marker-assisted backcrossing\r\nof several striga resistance QTLs in Sudan had shown the power of integrating genomics and molecular\r\nbreeding tools/techniques into routine breeding for tackling the complex constraint such as striga. Application\r\nand utilization of advance techniques in genomics and molecular breeding appropriately can\r\nfurther enhance the efficiency of integrated striga management practices, and thus crop productivity."^^ .
