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

Efficiency of managed-stress screening of elite maize hybrids under drought and low-N for yield under rainfed conditions in Southern Africa
(Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 2012)
Maize (Zea mays L.) yields in southern Africa are low, due largely to drought and low-N stress. Selection of stress-tolerant genotypes by CIMMYT is conducted indirectly under managed stress conditions, although the selection ...

An appraisal of farmer variety selection in drought prone areas and its implication to breeding for drought tolerance
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2012)
Maize production and productivity among small scale farmers of southern Africa is limited mainly by drought and low soil fertility. This study aimed at assessing how farmers prioritize selection of varieties for planting ...

Selection for drought tolerance in two tropical maize populations
(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 ...
