Book Chapter 2008

Autor: Menkir, A. Brown, R.L. Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit Chen, Z.Y. Cleveland, T.E.

Ear-rot-causing fungi, including Aspergillus and Fusarium spp., are common in maize in West and Central Africa. These fungi contaminate maize with mycotoxins that pose serious potential health hazards to humans in these areas. A collaborative germplasm screening project was initiated between the ...

Maize production is constrained by Striga hermonthica in Mali leading to high yield losses. Breeding resistant hybrid maize is a promising alternative for increasing farmers’ income. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of test crosses to Striga hermonthica and identify high y...

Recurrent selection under artificial S. hermonthica infestation has significantly reduced the number of emerged Striga plants and increased grain yield under Striga infestation in broad-based populations. These populations have been sources of varieties and inbred lines with consistently high lev...

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...

The moist savannas of West and Central Africa have great potential for maize grain production due to high levels of radiation and reduced incidence of pests and diseases. However, soils in this zone are generally low in organic matter and cation exchange capacity in addition to land use intensifi...

Maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA) is constrained by a wide range of interacting stresses that keep productivity below potential yields. Among the many problems afflicting maize production in WCA, drought, foliar diseases, and parasitic weeds are the most critical. Several decades ...

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 ...

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...

Marker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS) is a breeding method used to accumulate favorable alleles that for example confer tolerance to drought in inbred lines from several genomic regions within a single population. A bi-parental cross formed from two parents that combine resistance to Striga ...
