Heterotic affinity and combining ability of exotic maize inbred lines for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation
2018-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Aflatoxin accumulation in maize (Zea mays L.) kernels is a serious economic and health problem that reduces grain quality and nutritional values and causes death to livestock and humans. Understanding the genetic parameters and heterotic responses of exotic maize inbred lines can facilitate their use for developing aflatoxin resistant parents of hybrids in Africa. This study was designed to (1) determine the heter...
