Vitamin A deficiency, drought, low soil nitrogen (low N) and Striga hermonthica parasitism of maize (Zea mays L.) cause malnutrition and food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of this study were to determine combining abilities of extra-early provitamin A (PVA) lines, classify them...

Genetic studies of extra-early provitamin-A maize inbred lines and their hybrids in multiple environments
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important staple food crop in West and Central Africa(WCA). However, its production is constrained by drought. Knowledge andunderstanding of the genetics of hybrid performance under drought is invaluablein designing breeding strategies for improving maize yield. One hund...

Genetic analysis of grain yield and other traits of early maturing maize inbreds under drought and wellwatered conditions
Two major constraintsmilitatingagainst the
achievement of food security in West Africa (WA) are
recurrent drought and poor soil fertility. Seventeen early
maturing maize inbreds from IITA and CIMMYT were
used as parents to produce 136 diallel crosses which
were evaluated along with four checks in...
