Resistance to Striga parasitism through reduction of strigolactone exudationTwo ABC transporter G (ABCG) transporters, SbSLT1 and SbSLT2, in sorghum roots are responsible for strigolactone (SL) export to soil. Decreased SL in root exudates of sorghum with SbSLT1/2 knockout leads to reduced Striga germination and consequently less Striga infestation in fields, potentially improving yields in regions with impacted crop production.Two ABC transporter G (ABCG) transporters, SbSLT1 and SbSLT2, in sorghum roots are responsible for strigolactone (SL) export to soil.
