Screening programmes have identified rice cultivars showing good post-attachment resistance to Striga. The project will take an integrative approach to identify and investigate the molecular genetic nature of resistance to Striga in rice by combining knowledge of Striga-host interactions, novel plant growth systems and modern genomic and comparative genomic techniques.
