Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping and Molecular Breeding for Developing Stress Resilient Maize for Sub-Saharan Africa

2015-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), in partnership with several public and private institutions, is working to develop and deploy improved maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm that is drought tolerant, nitrogen use efficient (NUE), and disease resistant for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), using conventional pedigree selection and molecular breeding. Here, we provide an overview of the progress made o...
