Motivation: Because of the unique biological features, a bioinformatic platform for the integrated genetic and physical map of maize is required for storing, integrating, accessing and visualizing the underlying data. Results: The goal of the Maize Mapping Project is to develop a fully integrated...

iMap: a databasedriven utility to integrate and access the genetic and physical maps of maize
Maize (Zea mays L.) is cultivated under a broad range of climatic conditions in West and Central Africa (WCA). Unfortunately, maize production is constrained by a host of abiotic and biotic stresses, including drought, low soil fertility, diseases, insect pests, and the parasitic weed Striga herm...

Field trials were conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Tilla (northern Guinea savanna) and Sabon-Gari (Sudan savanna) in northeast Nigeria to determine the performance of two improved cowpea varieties when relay-intercropped with early and late maize, 6 and 8 weeks after planting the maize. Grain yield,...

Striga hermonthica is a major constraint to maize (Zea mays L.) production in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of secondary traits that have high heritability and genetic correlation with grain yield can improve the precision with which Striga resistant genotypes are identified. Fifteen early cultivar...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important staple food consumed by people with varying food preferences and socioeconomic backgrounds in West Africa (WA). Genotype by environment interactions (G×E) exist in WA implying the need for extensive testing of cultivars in multiple environments over years befor...

Use of GGE biplot for targeting early maturing maize cultivars to mega environments in West Africa
Maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids resistant to Striga hermonthica (Del) Benth and tolerant to drought are vital to the sustainability of productivity of the maize-based farming systems of West and Central Africa (WCA). Thirty-six diallel crosses derived from nine early maturing white maize inbreds were...

En Colombia la producción de maíz,arroz y algodonero se ve limitada por S.frugiperda (gusano cogollero).Actualmente, existen referencias de dos biotipos:(1) maíz–algodón y (2) arroz. Morfológicamente indistinguibles, pero que exhiben respuesta diferencial a insecticidas y Bt. El propósito de esta...

The global agriculture often faces new threats from invasive alien insect pests, pathogens, weeds etc requiring immediate attention and co-operative action to manage the pestilence. In this regard, the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda is a notorious pestiferous insect with high dispersa...
