Low soil Nitrogen (low-N) is one of the most important abiotic stresses responsible for significant yield losses in maize (Zea mays. L.). The development and commercialization of low N tolerant genotypes can contribute to improved food security in developing countries. However, selection for low ...

Identification of QTLs for grain yield and other traits in tropical maize under high and low soil-nitrogen environments.
Landraces of maize (Zea mays L.) are invaluable sources of genetic variability for improving agronomic traits, and they hold great promise in developing new maize varieties with enhanced resilience to stresses. Even though phenotypic characterization is an inexpensive approach for elucidating var...

Phenotypic characterization of maize landraces from Sahel and Coastal west Africa reveals marked diversity and potential for genetic improvement
Information on genetic diversity and population structure are very important in any breeding programme for the improvement of traits of interest and the development of outstanding products for commercialization. In the present study, we assessed the genetic diversity of 94 early-maturing white an...

Genetic diversity and population structure of early-maturing tropical maize inbred lines using SNP markers
Development of pro-vitamin A (PVA) biofortified staple crops has been promoted as an option for addressing vitamin A deficiency in humans. Recently, crtRBI, lcyE and zep1 genes of carotenoid biosynthesis pathway have been identified as contributors to PVA accumulation in maize endosperm. High phe...
