Abdoulaye, TahirouAnyebe, O.[Promoting the use of drought tolerant maize in Nigeria]Promoting the use of drought tolerant maize in Nigeria

Aluminium (Al) toxicity and drought are two major factors limiting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) production in the tropics. Short-term effects of Al toxicity and drought stress on root growth in acid, Al-toxic soil were studied, with special emphasis on Al–drought interaction in the root apex....


Yang, Z.B.Eticha, DAlbacete, ARao, Idupulapati M.Roitsch, THorst, Walter J.[Physiological and molecular analysis of the interaction between aluminium toxicity and drought stress in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)]Physiological and molecular analysis of the interaction between aluminium toxicity and drought stress in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Maize is a major staple food crop in southern Africa and stress tolerant improved varieties have the potential to increase productivity, enhance livelihoods and reduce food insecurity. This study uses big data in refining the geospatial targeting of new drought-tolerant (DT) maize varieties in Ma...


Tesfaye, K.Sonder, KaiCaims, J.Magorokosho, C.Tarekegn, A.Kassie, Girma T.Getaneh, F.Abdoulaye, TahirouAbate, T.Erenstein, Olaf[Targeting drought-tolerant maize varieties in southern Africa: a geospatial crop modeling approach using big data]Targeting drought-tolerant maize varieties in southern Africa: a geospatial crop modeling approach using big data

Knowledge of the heterotic responses of elite adapted and exotic maize inbred lines can facilitate their utilization for population improvement and hybrid development. In the present study, a line x tester mating design was used to determine the combining ability of 20 elite drought-tolerant maiz...


Adebayo, A.Menkir, A.Blay, E.Gracen, V.E.Danquah, E.Y.[Performance based grouping of adapted and exotic drought tolerant maize (Zea mays L) inbred lines under stressed and nonstressed conditions]Performance based grouping of adapted and exotic drought tolerant maize (Zea mays L) inbred lines under stressed and nonstressed conditions

Availability of extra-early maize cultivars has facilitated the expansion of maize production into savannas of West and Central Africa (WCA). Fifty-six extra-early maize cultivars of three breeding eras;1995 to 2000, 2001 to 2006, and 2007 to 2012 were evaluated for 2 yr under 24 multiple-stress ...


Badu-Apraku, B.Yallou, C.G.Obeng-Antwi, K.Alidu, H.Talabi, A.O.Annor, B.Oyekunle, M.Akaogu, I.C.Aderounmu, M.[Yield gains in extra-early maize cultivars of three breeding eras under multiple environments]Yield gains in extra-early maize cultivars of three breeding eras under multiple environments

Genotype × environment interactions complicate selection of superior genotypes for narrow and wide adaptation. Eighteen tropically-adapted maize cultivars were evaluated at six locations in Nigeria for 2 yr to (i) identify superior and stable cultivars across environments and (ii) assess relation...


Oyekunle, M.Menkir, A.Mani, H.Olaoye, G.Usman, I.S.Ado, S.G.Abdullahi, U.S.Ahmed, H.O.Hassan, L.B.Abdulmalik, R.O.Abubakar, H.[Stability analysis of maize cultivars adapted to tropical environments using AMMI analysis]Stability analysis of maize cultivars adapted to tropical environments using AMMI analysis

Mukankusi, Clare MugishaRaatz, BodoNkalubo, Stanley T.Berhanu, FentaBinagwa, PapiasKilango, MichaelWilliams, MagdalenaKatungi, EnidChirwa, RowlandBeebe, Stephen E.[Genomics, genetics and breeding of common bean in Africa: A review of tropical legume project]Genomics, genetics and breeding of common bean in Africa: A review of tropical legume project

Drought tolerance combined with resistance to black sigatoka (BS) disease are two desirable traits for plantains in some parts of the tropics. Field evaluation of leaf stomatal conductance, single leaf transpiration rate, photochemical efficiency, and role of stomata in BS resistance, was done fo...


Ekanayake, I.J.Ortiz, R.Vuylsteke, D.R.[Leaf stomatal conductance and stomatal morphology of Musa germplasm]Leaf stomatal conductance and stomatal morphology of Musa germplasm

Seedlings of Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex. Benth., Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth., Gliricidia sepium (Jac.) Walp and Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. were inoculated with an ectomycorrhizal (Boletus suillus (L. ex. Fr.) or indigenous vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi in a low P s...


Osonubi, O.Mulongoy, K.Awotoye, O.O.Atayese, M.O.Okali, D.U.U.[Effects of ectomycorrhizal and vesculararbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on drought tolerance of four leguminous woody seedlings]Effects of ectomycorrhizal and vesculararbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on drought tolerance of four leguminous woody seedlings

Background Maize yield potential is rarely maximized in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to the devastating effects of drought stress and Striga hermonthica parasitism. This study was conducted to determine the gains in grain yield and associated changes in an early-maturing yellow bi-parental maize ...


Badu-Apraku, B.Talabi, A.O.Fakorede, M.A.B.Fasanmade, Y.Gedil, M.Magorokosho, C.Asiedu, Robert[Yield gains and associated changes in an early yellow bi-parental maize population following genomic selection for Striga resistance and drought tolerance]Yield gains and associated changes in an early yellow bi-parental maize population following genomic selection for Striga resistance and drought tolerance
