Striga-resistant maize inbred lines are of interest to maize breeding programs in the savannas of Africa where the parasitic weed is endemic and causes severe yield losses in tropical maize. Assessment of the genetic diversity of such inbred lines is useful for their systematic and efficient use ...

Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination is a major problem facing maize growers worldwide, and host resistance is the most effective strategy to control the disease, but resistant genotypes have not been identified. In 2003, a total of 103 maize inbred lines were evaluated for Fusarium ear r...

Gray leaf spot (GLS), caused by Cercospora zeae-maydis Tehon & E.Y. Daniels, poses a serious threat to maize (Zea mays L.) production in sub-Saharan Africa. The knowledge of inheritance of resistance to GLS in new inbred lines would be useful for efficient development of hybrids and synthetics. I...

The West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) was established in 1987 to strengthen the capacity and capability of national programmes of West and Central Africa (WCA) to tackle regional constraints to maize production. The Network created several mechanisms for imple...

Maize has been targeted as one of the major crops for provitamin enrichment and delivery because it is an inexpensive and easily available source of food for millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa. Although tropical-adapted yellow maize contains provitamin-A carotenoids that can be converted in...


Menkir, A.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Mengesha, W.Rocheford, T.Alamu, E.O.[Accruing genetic gain in pro-vitamin A enrichment from harnessing diverse maize germplasm]Accruing genetic gain in pro-vitamin A enrichment from harnessing diverse maize germplasm

Aflatoxin accumulation in maize (Zea mays L.) kernels is a serious economic and health problem that reduces grain quality and nutritional values and causes death to livestock and humans. Understanding the genetic parameters and heterotic responses of exotic maize inbred lines can facilitate their...


Meseka, S.Williams, W.P.Warburton, M.L.Brown, R.L.Augusto, J.Ortega-Beltran, A.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitMenkir, A.[Heterotic affinity and combining ability of exotic maize inbred lines for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation]Heterotic affinity and combining ability of exotic maize inbred lines for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation

Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting mineral nutrient in the soils of the major maize producing areas of West and Central Africa. Low soil N and sub-optimal application of N fertilizers lead to N deficiency and poor grain yield (GY) in maize. Maize varieties with improved grain yield under low soil ...
