Introgression of maize lethal necrosis resistance quantitative trait loci into susceptible maize populations and validation of the resistance under field conditions in Naivasha, Kenya

Maize lethal necrosis (MLN), resulting from co-infection by maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) can cause up to 100% yield losses in maize in Africa under serious disease conditions. Maize improvement through conventional backcross (BC) takes many generations but ca...
