Identification of Drought, Heat, and Combined Drought and Heat Tolerant Donors in Maize

Low maize (Zea maysL.) yields and the impacts of climate change on maize production highlight the need to improve yields in eastern and southern Africa. Climate projections suggest higher temperatures within drought-prone areas. Research in model species suggests that tolerance to combined drought a...
