The classification of maize inbred lines into heterotic groups is an important undertaking in hybrid breeding. The objectives of our research were to: (1) separate selected tropical mid-altitude maize inbred lines into heterotic groups based on grain yield data; (2) assess the genetic relationshi...
Tzi (tropical Zea inbred) lines 1, 3, 4, 8 to 13, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 28 and 30 are currently at the S6 stage of inbreeding; they have been selected for resistance to maize streak virus (MSV) throughout the inbreeding process using artificial field infestation with viruliferous leafhoppers. M...
A parasitic weed, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., infects millions of hectares of arable land in sub-Saharan Africa, and it threatens production of cereal crops. The objectives of this study were to investigate inheritance in maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines of tolerance and resistance to S. he...
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...
Maize is a staple food for millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa where a significant number of people suffer from vitamin A deficiency. Yellow maize contains both pro-vitamin A and nonprovitamin A carotenoids with potential health benefits to humans. An improvement in the concentration of thes...
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...
