Enhancing drought tolerance and Striga hermonthica resistance in maize using newly derived inbred lines from the wild maize relative, Zea diploperennis
Recurrent drought and Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth parasitism constrains maize production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Transfer of resistance genes from wild relatives can improve resistance to drought and Striga in tropical maize. The objectives of this study were to (i) determine the combining...
