Selection for drought tolerance in two tropical maize populations 

Magorokosho, C.; Pixley, K.V.; Tongoona, P. (African Crop Science Society, 2003)
Drought is a major factor limiting maize ( Zea mays check for this species in other resources L.) yield in much of the world. The need to breed maize cultivars with improved drought tolerance is apparent. This study compared ...

Molecular characterization of diverse CIMMYT maize inbred lines from eastern and southern Africa using single nucleotide polymorphic markers 

Semagn, K.; Magorokosho, C.; Vivek, B.; Makumbi, D.; Beyene, Y.; Mugo, S.; Prasanna, B.M.; Warburton, M.L. (BioMed Central, 2012)
Background: Knowledge of germplasm diversity and relationships among elite breeding materials is fundamentally important in crop improvement. We genotyped 450 maize inbred lines developed and/or widely used by CIMMYT ...

Nitrogen effects on maize yield following groundnut in rotation on smallholder farms in sub-humid Zimbabwe 

Jeranyama, P.; Waddington, S.R.; Hesterman, O.B.; Harwood, R.R. (Academic Journals, 2007)
Rotating maize (Zea mays L.) with groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) has been proposed as a way to maintain soil fertility and prevent maize productivity declines in the smallholder cropping systems of sub-humid Zimbabwe. ...
