Breeding maize (Zea mays) for striga resistance: past, current and prospects in sub-Saharan Africa
Striga hermonthica, causes up to 100% yield loss in maize production in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Developing Striga‐resistant maize cultivars could be a major component of integrated Striga management strategies. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of maize breeding activities related to Striga r...
