Detailed knowledge of the genetic diversity among maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm is useful for their systematic and efficient use in breeding programmes. Two multivariate techniques were used to characterize 77 landraces collected from southern Ghana and four Ghanaian improved varieties. The ...

Phenotypic diversity in maize landraces in Ghana
Information about landrace diversity has practical implications for its preservation, efficient management and effective utilization in breeding programmes. The objectives of the study were to (i) compare molecular and agronomic diversity estimates of two divergent landraces (AA007/92 and AA098/9...

Intralandrace variability of two landraces in Ghana
Maize (Zea mays L.) production in west Africa (WA) is constrained by drought, Striga hermonthica infestation and low soil nitrogen (N). Maize varieties resistant to Striga, drought, and low N are ideal for WA, but genotype × environment interaction on these traits are usually significant due to d...
