Abstract excerpt
Background/Objectives: Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a major constraint to maize production in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Mozambique. This study aimed to evaluate maize genotypes for resistance to FAW under greenhouse and field conditions and to assess the association between phenotypic resistance and genomic variation based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Methods: A total of 20...
