Menkir, A.Palacios-Rojas, N.Alamu, O.Dias Paes, M.C.Dhliwayo, T.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Mengesha, W.Ndhlela, T.Oliveira Guimarães, P.E.Pixley, K.Rocheford, T.[Vitamin A-biofortified maize: exploiting native genetic variation for nutrient enrichment]Vitamin A-biofortified maize: exploiting native genetic variation for nutrient enrichment

Molecular-based characterization of open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) in maize is useful to define their unique profiles. A total of 58 SSR markers selected from a panel of 70 were used for genotyping three samples of 30, 50 and 100 plant bulks for each of 32 OPVs. The SSR markers detected a total...

Striga hermonthica and drought are the major stresses limiting maize yields in sub-Saharan Africa. The search for diverse maize lines’ tolerance to drought and resistance to S. hermonthica (DTSTHR) is very crucial for yield improvement in areas affected by the two stresses. Understanding the gene...


Mengesha, W.Menkir, A.Unachukwu, N.N.Meseka, S.K.Farinola, A.Girma Tessema, G.Gedil, M.[Genetic diversity of tropical maize inbred lines combining resistance to Striga hermonthica with drought tolerance using SNP markers]Genetic diversity of tropical maize inbred lines combining resistance to Striga hermonthica with drought tolerance using SNP markers

The extent of genetic diversity and genetic structure of 23 lowland and 23 mid-altitude adapted maize inbred lines that share a common source of resistance to the maize streak virus were surveyed using 18 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primer pairs. Close to 86% of the 820 AFLP fra...


Menkir, A.Gedil, M.Franco, J.[Analysis of genetic structure and diversity among lowland and midaltitude adapted maize inbred lines with AFLP markers]Analysis of genetic structure and diversity among lowland and midaltitude adapted maize inbred lines with AFLP markers

Deficiencies of vitamin A, iron, and zinc are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, where the diets are mainly plant-based and the intakes of animal products are low. The overall objective of this investigation was to determine the extent of genetic variation of these micronutrients in 16 yellow-seed...


Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Kling, J.G.Menkir, A.Dixon, A.[Genetic variation for total carotene, iron, and zinc contenet in maize genotypes and cassava clones]Genetic variation for total carotene, iron, and zinc contenet in maize genotypes and cassava clones

Striga hermonthica is a parasitic weed that poses a serious threat to the production of economically important cereals in sub-Saharan Africa. The existence of genetic diversity within and between S. hermonthica populations presents a challenge to the successful development and deployment of effec...


Unachukwu, N.N.Menkir, A.Rabbi, Ismail Y.Oluoch, M.Muranaka, S.Elzein, A.Odhiambo, G.Farombi, E.O.Gedil, M.[Genetic diversity and population structure of Striga hermonthica populations from Kenya and Nigeria]Genetic diversity and population structure of Striga hermonthica populations from Kenya and Nigeria

Two tropical maize composites were subjected to four cycles of reciprocal recurrent selection to develop divergent inbred lines with good combining ability. This study was conducted to examine the extent of genetic diversity, changes in allele composition and genetic structure, of 100 randomly se...
