Genetic analysis of extra-early yellow and orange quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) inbread lines under low nitrogen and Striga stresses
Low soil nitrogen (low-N) and Striga hermonthica (Del.) are major constrains hampering maize production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Developing extra-early quality protein maize (QPM)-provitamin A hybrids that combine low-N tolerance with Striga resistance is crucial for addressing the food security...
