Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple food and cash crop in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, its production and productivity are severely constrained by drought. A total of 120 single-cross hybrids and an open-pollinated control variety were evaluated for 2 years at two locations under managed ...

phytoparasite, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., infests millions of hectares of cultivated fields of cereal crops in sub-Saharan Africa. Yield losses are often 70 but can be as high as 100% and farmers often abandon infested fields and move to new areas. The objectives of this study were to inve...

A parasitic plant, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., infests millions of hectares of arable land in sub-Saharan Africa, and it threatens production of major cereal crops including maize (Zea mays L.). Erratic natural infestation is considered a major constraint to assess host plant resistance to ...

Molecular-based characterization of open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) in maize is useful to define their unique profiles. A total of 58 SSR markers selected from a panel of 70 were used for genotyping three samples of 30, 50 and 100 plant bulks for each of 32 OPVs. The SSR markers detected a total...

urple witchweed [Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth.], here called just striga, parasitizes cereal crops in the savanna zone of sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of this study were to investigate the expressions of a tolerant and a susceptible cultivar of maize (Zea mays L.) to striga as affected b...
