High-protein corn also resistant to parasitic weed

In sub-Saharan Africa, 20 to 80{23820674f91ec36f5ca9b0d7ffbb29e72142de4d9260de4131e0701e1e8a0f40} of corn yields may be lost because of a semi-parasitic plant, Striga. In areas infested with Striga, farmers may even lose their entire crops. In a new study, researchers from southern Africa identified several varieties of corn resistant or tolerant to Striga. Importantly, these varieties also have improved nutritional content, particularly protein.
