- Addressing climate change effects and meeting maize demand for Asia(GMRI, 2011) Zaidi, P.; Babu, R.; Cairns, J.E.; Jeffers, D.P.; Kha, L.Q.; Krishna, G.; Krishna, V.; Mcdonald, A.; Ortiz-Ferrara, G.; Palacios-Rojas, N.; Pixley, K.V.; Prasanna, B.M.; Rashid, Z.; Tadele Tefera; Tiwari, T.P.; Vinayan, M.T.; Vengadessan, V.; Fan, X.M.; Yunbi Xu; Weidong, C.; Zhang, S.; Vivek, B.This includes the extended summaries of the scientific presentations made during the 11th Asian Maize Conference held in Nanning, China, during 7-11 November 2011. The Conference is co-organized by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), and the Guangxi Maize Research Institute (GMRI), China. The theme of the workshop is "Addressing Climate Change Effects and Meeting Maize Demand for Asia". The 11th AMC brings together over 300 maize scientists, researchers and students from public and private sectors, including participants from several Asian countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, besides Italy, Kenya, New Zealand, Mexico, Germany, Myanmar and the USA. The Conference features over 225 presentations, including keynote lectures, invited oral presentations, and poster presentations, besides scientific deliberations and discussions on maize in Asia. The extended summaries includes reviews and research papers on a diverse range of topics, including maize trends, challenges and opportunities in Asia, abiotic and biotic stresses affecting maize production, novel tools for maize improvement, conservation agriculture, nutritional enrichment of maize, participatory plant breeding, community-based seed production, public-private partnerships, maize value chains, policies and socio-economics relevant to Asia.
Publication - Maize for Asia: emerging trends and technologies proceedings of the 10th Asian Regional Maize Workshop(CIMMYT, 2010) Zaidi, P.; Azrai, M.; Pixley, K.V.This is proceeding of the 10th Asian Regional Maize Workshop held in Makassar, Indonesia during 20 - 23 October 2008, and co-organized by International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center CIMMYT), Mexico and The Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development (IAARD), Indonesia. The theme of the workshop was Maize for Asia: Emerging Trends and Technologies?. The 10th ARMW brought together in Makassar, Indonesia, over 300 maize scientists, researchers and students from public and private sectors, including participants from China, Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Iran, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Australia, Kenya and Mexico. The workshop had 65 oral and 108 poster presentations, and included invited lectures, research paper presentations, scientific deliberations and discussions on maize in Asia. Papers of the proceeding deals with molecular tools, for maize improvement, genetics and breeding, crop management, biotic and Abiotic stresses affecting maize, technology dissemination and country reports.
Publication - Proceedings of the Ninth Asian Regional Maize Workshop(CAAS, 2005) Pixley, K.V.; Zhang, S.H.The Ninth Asian Regional Maize Workshop (9th ARMW) had been organized and successfully held in September 5th -9th , 2005 in Beijing. Like its predecessors, the 9th ARMW was three years later than 8th ARMW. It was an important scientific event that brings together maize researchers region wide to interact, exchange ideas, share knowledge, and review progress of important research activities. This happens to be the Ninth Asian Regional Maize Workshop organized jointly by Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), China and CIMMYT. I was very impressed with the scientific program as well as the logistical arrangements and wish to thank both CAAS and CIMMYT staff for doing such an excellent job and for choosing Zhongyuan Hotel. I would also like to recognize other national institutions and seed industry groups, who kindly and successfully assisted in various deliberations. More than 230 participants were from almost all the maize growing countries in Asia and several from outside of the region. The scientific presentations with oral or poster form which were compiled in the proceedings to form a witness of the meeting and how excellent the research had been done in the past years by the scientists of this region. The research that is presented here is top quality and very necessary to meet the demand of the region and will contribute to increasing sustainable productivity and profitability of maize in Asia. Demand for maize, especially for feed com is growing at a brisk pace, especially with the surging economy in many countries of Asia. As living standards improve, dietary habits change and the shortage of maize from being a food crop to a feed and industrial crop becomes more apparent. The demand for energy also drives the demand of com production into transformation biological energy from com starch. This workshop addresses some of these issues and focuses on both increasing productivity as well as utilization of maize forming the sections as maize breeding, abiotic and biotic stress, technology dissemination and value-added maize products. Outstanding scientists from the United States, European countries, CIMMYT and Asian countries addressed the com production at different aspects. The proceedings are the very products of their ideas. I am pleased to note that Indonesia is undergoing the organization of the 10th Asian Regional Maize Workshop. CIMMYT, as always will continue to playa catalytic role towards this goal. As we know, Chinese maize research activities will be very active in the following events under this frame. Finally, I am confident that the maize breeders, agronomists, and other relevant expertise surely the participants and any readers of the proceedings will find the information and ideas herein useful in guiding future research programs.
Publication - Maize productivity gains through research and technology dissemination(CIMMYT, 1997) Ransom, J.K.; Palmer, A.F.E.; Zambezi, B.T.; Waddington, S.R.; Pixley, K.V.; Jewell, D.C.This publication contains papers presented at the fifth Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Maize Conference held in Arusha, Tanzania, June, 1996, documenting advances in maize productivity achieved through research and technology dissemination. Topics covered include the dissemination of maize farming technology and related impacts and challenges; productivity gains though genetic improvement and through identifying and integrating key management practices; stress tolerance for greater yield stability; soil fertility enhancing technologies; and disease management
Publication - Maize research for stress environments: proceedings of the Fourth Eastern and Southern Africa Regional maize conference(CIMMYT, 1995) Jewell, D.C.; Waddington, S.R.; Ransom, J.K.; Pixley, K.V.This maize conference has come at an opportune time. The papers/presentations on the different aspects of maize research for stress environments will enable us to revisit our workplan if necessary and assess whether we are addressing the key problems faci
