Indeed, crops that produce significantly fewer SLs are more resistant to Striga and/or Orobanche infection than other cultivars. This has been observed for different species, including rice [64], tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) [65], the faba bean (Vicia faba) [66,67], and pea (Pisum sativum) [68]. However, the complete loss of SL exudation is not desirable since it can affect some symbiotic mycorrhizal associations, which are particularly needed in soils that are profoundly affected by Striga infestations.
