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...

A base index involving Striga damage, number of emerged Striga plantsand ears per plant is used for selecting for maize (Zea mays L.) grainyield under Striga infestation. There are contradictory reports on the reliabilityof number of emerged Striga plants for selecting for Striga resistance.The o...

Badu-Apraku, B.Gedil, M.Fakorede, M.A.B.Akinwale, R.Fasanmade, Y.Annor, B.Talabi, A.O.Oyekunle, M.Akaogu, I.C.Aderounmu, M.[Gene action and heterotic groups of early white quality protein maize inbreds under multiple stress environments]Gene action and heterotic groups of early white quality protein maize inbreds under multiple stress environments

Drought is a major constraint to maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA). Assessment of genetic gain from S1 recurrent selection under drought is crucial for the development of drought tolerance breeding strategies. In an early white population, 60 S1 families each derived from the base...

Maize (Zea mays L.), an important staple crop in West and Central Africa (WCA), has enormous potential to reduce food insecurity in this subregion. Research covering three periods or eras of breeding has been conducted to develop cultivars resistant/tolerant to three maize stress factors: Striga ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple crop in West Africa and has the potential to mitigate the food insecurity in the subregion. However, maize grain yield is severely constrained by drought. A study was conducted at 13 locations in West Africa for 2 yr to determine genetic gains in yield of cul...

Four cycles of S1 family recurrent selection to improve grain yield and resistance to Striga hermonthica have been completed in TZE-Y Pop STR C0. In order to determine whether or not to continue with the recurrent scheme, it was desirable to evaluate the amount of residual genetic variance and as...

Information on the combining ability, heterotic patterns and genetic diversity of maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds is crucial for the success of a hybrid program targeting the stress environments of West Africa (WA). Studies were conducted in 2011 at four locations in Nigeria to (i) determine the comb...
