Inheritance of Resistance to Sorghum Shoot Fly, Atherigona soccata in Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
Sorghum production is affected by a wide array of biotic constraints, of which sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata is the most important pest, which severely damages the sorghum crop during the seedling stage. Host plant resistance is one of the major components to control sorghum shoot fly, A. soccata. To understand the nature of gene action for inheritance of shoot fly resistance, we evalua...
متن کاملNovel Sources of Witchweed (Striga) Resistance from Wild Sorghum Accessions
Sorghum is a major food staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but its production is constrained by the parasitic plant Striga that attaches to the roots of many cereals crops and causes severe stunting and loss of yield. Away from cultivated farmland, wild sorghum accessions grow as weedy plants and have shown remarkable immunity to Striga. We sought to determine the extent of the resistance to S...
متن کاملMultiple-resistance to sorghum shoot fly, spotted stemborer and sugarcane aphid in sorghum
Sorghum is one of the most important cereal crops in the semi-arid tropics. Several insect pests damage it. The possibility of identifying genotypes with multiple resistance to these pests and transferring the relevant genes into high-yielding varieties and hybrids has been considered as an attractive approach to reducing yield losses. A set of 12 cytoplasmic male-sterile and maintainer lines, ...
متن کاملScreening for Resistance to Sorghum Shoot Bug and Spider Mites
Sorghum is one of the most important cereals in the semi-arid tropics. Nearly 150 insect specieshave been reported to damage the crop worldwide, causing an estimated loss of over US$ 1 000million annually. Of these, shoot fly, stem borers, greenbug, sugarcane aphid, shoot bug, spidermites, armyworms, midge, head bug, and head caterpillars are the major pests. Plant resistance to...
متن کاملIntrogression of Shoot Fly (Atherigona soccata L. Moench) Resistance QTLs into Elite Post-rainy Season Sorghum Varieties Using Marker Assisted Backcrossing (MABC)
Shoot fly (Atherigona soccata L. Moench) is a serious pest in sorghum production. Management of shoot fly using insecticides is expensive and environmentally un-safe. Developing host-plant resistance is the best method to manage shoot fly infestation. Number of component traits contribute for imparting shoot fly resistance in sorghum and molecular markers have been reported which were closely l...
