Identification of QTLs controlling resistance/tolerance to Striga hermonthica in an extra-early maturing yellow maize population

Striga hermonthica parasitism is a major constraint to maize production in sub-Saharan Africa with yield losses reaching 100% under severe infestation. The application of marker-assisted selection is highly promising for accelerating breeding for Striga resistance/tolerance in maize but requires the...
