Biotic constraints (insects, diseases, parasitic weeds) and abiotic stresses (drought) are widespread and pose a constant threat to maize production worldwide. Tropical environments provide the greatest opportunity for evolution of insects and diseases because of the favourable year- round climat...

A parasitic weed, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., infects millions of hectares of arable land in sub-Saharan Africa, and it threatens production of cereal crops. The objectives of this study were to investigate inheritance in maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines of tolerance and resistance to S. he...
