The persistent challenge of insufficient food, unbalanced nutrition, and deteriorating natural resources in the most vulnerable nations, characterized by fast population growth, calls for utilization of innovative technologies to curb constraints of crop production. Enhancing genetic gain by usin...

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...

Marker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS) is a breeding method used to accumulate favorable alleles that for example confer tolerance to drought in inbred lines from several genomic regions within a single population. A bi-parental cross formed from two parents that combine resistance to Striga ...


Abdulmalik, R.O.Menkir, A.Meseka, S.K.Unachukwu, N.N.Ado, S.G.Olarewaju, J.D.Aba, D.A.Hearne, S.Crossa, J.Gedil, M.[Genetic gains in grain yield of a maize population improved through marker assisted recurrent selection under stress and non-stress conditions in west Africa]Genetic gains in grain yield of a maize population improved through marker assisted recurrent selection under stress and non-stress conditions in west Africa

The objective of marker assisted recurrent selection (MARS) is to increase the frequency of favorable marker alleles in a population before inbred line extraction. This approach was used to improve drought tolerance and grain yield (GY) in a biparental cross of two elite drought tolerant lines. T...

Striga hermonthica and drought are the major stresses limiting maize yields in sub-Saharan Africa. The search for diverse maize lines’ tolerance to drought and resistance to S. hermonthica (DTSTHR) is very crucial for yield improvement in areas affected by the two stresses. Understanding the gene...

The extent of genetic diversity and genetic structure of 23 lowland and 23 mid-altitude adapted maize inbred lines that share a common source of resistance to the maize streak virus were surveyed using 18 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primer pairs. Close to 86% of the 820 AFLP fra...

Molecular-marker-aided evaluation of germplasm plays an important role indefining the genetic diversity of plant genotypes for genetic and populationimprovement studies. A collection of African cassava landraces and elite culti-vars was analysed for genetic diversity using 20 amplified fragment l...
