Maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA) is constrained by a wide range of
interacting stresses that keep productivity below potential yields. Among the many problems …

Maize production in SSA has been greatly constrained by many biotic and abiotic stresses.
Most of these constraints cut across countries with similar agroecological zones, the most …

The maize genome is one of the most extensively analyzed among the plant genomes.
Consequently, maize has been at the forefront in development and evaluation of an array of …

The growing demands for food, feed, and bioenergy worldwide will require a 2% per annum
increase in global maize (Zea mays L.) production. Maize is one of the most important staple …

Maize is an important crop for food, feed, forage, and fuel across tropical and temperate
areas of the world. Diversity studies at genetic, molecular, and functional levels have …

The C4 grass Zea mays (maize or corn) is the third most important food crop globally after
wheat and rice in terms of production and the second most widespread genetically modified …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the third most important crop of country after rice and wheat and is
cultivated round the year. Its grain is used as feed, food and industrial raw material …

Achieving grain supply security with limited arable land is a major challenge in the twenty-
first century, owing to the changing climate and increasing global population. Maize plays an …

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.), an important food, feed, and industrial crop in sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA), has been researched extensively for genetic enhancement for more than a half …

Molecular breeding (MB) increases genetic gain per crop cycle, stacks favourable alleles at
target loci and reduces the number of selection cycles. In the last decade, the private sector …
