An in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model was used to assess iron bioavailability of twenty elite late-maturing tropical maize varieties grown in three diverse agroecologies in West and Central Africa (WCA). Kernel-iron concentration of the varieties, averaged across locations, varied from 19.2 to ...

Full-sib families derived from Pool 16 DT, a tropical maize ( Zea mays L.) population, were evaluated in the 1995/96 and 1997/98 dry seasons, using two sites each season in Côte d’Ivoire. In all sites, the crop was irrigated from planting to about 2 weeks before anthesis, irrigation was discontin...

Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) is a major public health problem in Sub-Saharan Africa affecting 33 million preschool-age children. Enrichment of maize varieties with provitamin A could provide sustainable and affordable solution to VAD. This study was conducted to understand the extent of GEI effects...

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth parasitizes maize (Zea mays L.) in sub-Saharan Africa, causing yield losses of up to 100% under severe infestation. Hybrid maize breeding for polygenic resistance to Striga has been undertaken at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) since the ...

North Carolina Design I (NCD I) progenies derived from Pool 16 DT, a white, dent, early maturing, drought-tolerant and streak resistant tropical maize (Zea mays L.) population, were evaluated in the 1995/96 and 1997/98 dry seasons, using two sites each season in Côte d'Ivoire. In all sites, the c...

Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a non-destructive measure of green vegetation growth or above ground biomass of a crop. NDVI may also be used to evaluate traits such as early vigour and stay green which are important for adaptation to drought stress. In the present study, the rel...

Maize (Zea mays L.) landraces in the northern Guinea savanna and Sudan savanna in West and Central Africa appear to have some drought-adaptive traits. This study was initiated to assess the level of improvement in yield potential and other agronomic traits achieved under drought stress (DS) and i...

Low soil nitrogen (N) and sub-optimal N fertilizer applications result in poor grain yield (GY) in maize. Genotypes with improved N-use efficiency (NUE) are particularly beneficial to low-input agriculture. Information on the relative importance of the main components of NUE will facilitate genet...

Aflatoxin contamination caused by Aspergillus flavus infection of corn is a significant and chronic threat to corn being used as food or feed. Contamination of crops at levels of 20 ng g–1 or higher (as regulated by the USFDA) by this toxin and potent carcinogen makes the crop unsalable, resultin...
