The majority of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) depend on maize (Zea mays L.), which is mostly grown in drought-prone areas. Understanding the inheritance of drought tolerance would help in developing drought-tolerant maize hybrids that would help increase maize production under erratic rainf...

Genetic analysis of performance of maize inbred lines under drought stress
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...

Genetic diversity of tropical maize inbred lines combining resistance to Striga hermonthica with drought tolerance using SNP markers
Drought stress causes significant yield reduction in maize Zea mays L. grown in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA. An understanding of the inheritance of drought tolerance would be useful in developing drought tolerant hybrids. The objectives of this study were to determine (i) the effects of the level of ...

Low soil nitrogen (low N) limits maize (Zea maysL.) production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Knowledge of inheritance of tolerance to low N in inbred lines selected for drought tolerance would be useful for developing hybrids adapted to low N conditions. The objectives of this study were to determ...
