Genetic variances and heritabilities of early yellow maize population following cycles of improvement for Striga resistance and drought tolerance
Drought and Striga are principal constraints to maize production in sub-Saharan Africa. An early yellow maize population, TZE-Y Pop DT STR that had undergone five cycles of selection for resistance to Striga, followed by three cycles of improvement for drought tolerance was investigated for yield ga...
