Molecular marker-based genetic diversity assessment of Striga-resistant maize inbred lines
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2005 Striga-resistant maize inbred lines are of interest to maize breeding programs in the savannas of Africa where the parasitic weed is endemic and causes severe yield losses in tropical maize. Assessment of the genetic diversity of such inbred lines is useful for their systematic and efficient use in a breeding program.

Genetic variances and relationship among traits of an early maturing maize population under drought-stress and low nitrogen environments [PDF]
, 2017 Article purchasedDrought and low soil nitrogen (low N) are major causes of low grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). An early maturing maize population, TZE-Y Pop DT STR, had undergone four cycles of selection for drought ...

Assessment of Striga resistance in wild relatives of sorghum under field conditions [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2018 The witch-weeds (Striga spp.) are destructive root parasites of many crops. They result in considerable crop damage, especially in the semiarid tropic parts of the world. The parasite control is difficult due to the complexity of the parasite life cycle,
