Abstract excerpt
Striga hermonthica is a root hemiparasite of cereals that causes devastating loss of yield. Recently, a rice cultivar, Nipponbare, was discovered, which exhibits post-attachment resistance to this parasite and quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the resistance were identified. Changes in gene expression in susceptible (IAC 165) and resistant (Nipponbare) rice cultivars were profiled using rice...
