    Abstract

    Inheritance of Striga seed-germination stimulant from S. asiatica seed collected at ICRISAT Centre was investigated in sorghum using 3 low-stimulant-producing (resistant) cultivars (555, Framida and SNR6496) and 6 high-stimulant-producing (susceptible) cultivars (Swarna, NJ2006, IS508, 168, 148 and M35-1). 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
