“…Additionally, this could be interpreted to mean that the inbred lines used in the present study might have displayed high genetic variance for grain yield under drought stress. This result disagrees with the findings of earlier researchers [16,43] who reported lower heritability of grain yield under drought environments compared to optimal environments.…”

“…Recent findings have shown that RNAs freely translocate between parasitic plants and their hosts (Kim & Westwood, 2015). This translocation suggests a possibility that RNA-interference (RNAi) could be used as a potential tool to interfere in vital processes within the parasite by transforming the host with an RNAi construct that targets gene sequences specific to the parasite (Shayanowako et al, 2017). This technique is constrained by the lack of genes to target for silencing as well as by the delivery of iRNAs into the parasite (Kirigia et al, 2014).…”

“…Striga hermonthica on sorghum, S. asiatica on maize, and S. gesnerioides on cowpea constitute the top three witchweed species, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa. Controlling these crop pathogens, the focus of much research in diverse disciplines, involves chemical control, biocontrol, breeding resistant crops, and integrated agronomic management (Joel & al., ; Shayanowako & al., ; Belay, ; Runo & Kuria, ). Some species such as S. gesnerioides are holoparsites, thus representing the third independent evolution of this trait in the family.…”
