Combining ability of maize inbred lines containing genes from Zea diploperennis for resistance to Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth
Maize (Zea mays) is a staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, but itsproduction is threatened byStriga hermonthica(Del.) Benth. Transferof resistance genes from wild relatives may increase resistance toS. hermonthicain tropical maize. The objective of this study was todetermine the combining ability...
