Badu-Apraku, B.Menkir, A.Fakorede, M.A.B.Ajala, S.O.Ellis-Jones, J.[Building partnerships and encouraging innovation for sustainable maize production: the West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network, achievements and impact]Building partnerships and encouraging innovation for sustainable maize production: the West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network, achievements and impact

Maize (Zea mays L.), an important staple crop in West and Central Africa (WCA), has enormous potential to reduce food insecurity in this subregion. Research covering three periods or eras of breeding has been conducted to develop cultivars resistant/tolerant to three maize stress factors: Striga ...


Badu-Apraku, B.Fakorede, M.A.B.Oyekunle, M.Yallou, G.C.Obeng-Antwi, K.Haruna, A.Usman, I.Akinwale, R.[Gains in grain yield of early maize cultivars developed during three breeding eras under multiple environments]Gains in grain yield of early maize cultivars developed during three breeding eras under multiple environments

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple crop in West Africa and has the potential to mitigate the food insecurity in the subregion. However, maize grain yield is severely constrained by drought. A study was conducted at 13 locations in West Africa for 2 yr to determine genetic gains in yield of cul...


Badu-Apraku, B.Oyekunle, M.Menkir, A.Obeng-Antwi, K.Yallou, C.Usman, I.Alidu, H.[Comparative performance of early maturing maize cultivars developed in three Eras under drought stress and wellwatered environments in West Africa]Comparative performance of early maturing maize cultivars developed in three Eras under drought stress and wellwatered environments in West Africa

Breeding maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids resistant to Striga and tolerant to low soil nitrogen (low-N) will reduce grain yield losses due to stresses in West Africa (WA). Studies were conducted to determine if selection for Striga resistance and/or drought tolerance in early-maturing maize population...


Ifie, B.E.Badu-Apraku, B.Gracen, V.E.Danquah, E.Y.[Genetic analysis of gain yield of IITA and CIMMYT earlymaturing maize inbreds under Strigainfested and lowsoil nitrogen environments]Genetic analysis of gain yield of IITA and CIMMYT earlymaturing maize inbreds under Strigainfested and lowsoil nitrogen environments

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important staple crop in West and Central Africa (WCA), but its production is severely constrained by low soil nitrogen (low N). Fifty-six extra-early open-pollinated maize cultivars developed during three breeding eras, 1995–2000, 2001–2006 and 2007–2012, were eva...


Badu-Apraku, B.Fakorede, M.A.B.Annor, B.Talabi, A.O.[Improvement in grain yield and low-nitrogen tolerance in maize cultivars of there eras]Improvement in grain yield and low-nitrogen tolerance in maize cultivars of there eras

Maize hybrids that are tolerant to drought at the seedling stage are needed to boost productivity in the rainforest agro-ecology of West Africa. Genetics of tolerance of maize seedling to drought stress is not well understood and is poorly documented. The objectives of this study were to screen e...


Adewale, S.A.Akinwale, R.O.Fakorede, M.A.B.Badu-Apraku, B.[Genetic analysis of drought-adaptive traits at seedling stage in early-maturing maize inbred lines and field performance under stress conditions]Genetic analysis of drought-adaptive traits at seedling stage in early-maturing maize inbred lines and field performance under stress conditions
Akinwale, R.Badu-Apraku, B.Fakorede, M.A.B.Vroh Bi, Irie[Heterotic grouping of tropical earlymaturing maize inbred lines based on combining ability in Strigainfested and Strigafree environments and the use of SSR markers for genotyping]Heterotic grouping of tropical earlymaturing maize inbred lines based on combining ability in Strigainfested and Strigafree environments and the use of SSR markers for genotyping

Four cycles of S1 family recurrent selection to improve grain yield and resistance to Striga hermonthica have been completed in TZE-Y Pop STR C0. In order to determine whether or not to continue with the recurrent scheme, it was desirable to evaluate the amount of residual genetic variance and as...


Badu-Apraku, B.Akinwale, R.O.Fakorede, M.A.B.Oyekunle, M.Franco, J.[Relative changes in genetic variability and correlations in an earlymaturing maize population during recurrent selection]Relative changes in genetic variability and correlations in an earlymaturing maize population during recurrent selection
Badu-Apraku, B.Fakorede, M.A.B.Oyekunle, M.Akinwale, R.[Genetic gains in grain yield under nitrogen stress following three decades of breeding for drought tolerance and Striga resistance in early maturing maize]Genetic gains in grain yield under nitrogen stress following three decades of breeding for drought tolerance and Striga resistance in early maturing maize

Information on the combining ability, heterotic patterns and genetic diversity of maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds is crucial for the success of a hybrid program targeting the stress environments of West Africa (WA). Studies were conducted in 2011 at four locations in Nigeria to (i) determine the comb...
