Enhancing Striga Resistance in Sorghum Through Molecular Marker-Assisted Breeding of LGS1 Mutations

Striga resistance in sorghum is achieved through molecular marker-assisted breeding targeting mutations at the LGS1 gene. These lgs1 mutants exude fewer Striga-stimulatory strigolactones, providing a sustainable solution for combating this parasitic weed.
