Historical overview of breeding for durable resistance to maize streak virus for tropical Africa
Maize streak virus (MSV) was first studied by Storey in Kenya in the 1920s and resistance transferred into East African maize in the 1960's. Yet the majority of farmers of East Africa are still growing streak-susceptible maize. At the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Nigeria...
