2021-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Maize (Zea mays L.), an important source of calories and nutrients in sub‐Saharan Africa, is threatened by northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) caused by Exserohilum turcicum. This study examined combining ability and heterotic patterns of early‐maturing maize inbreds, gene action conditioning NCLB resistance, and performance of derived hybrids across environments and identified testers. Fifteen each of white and yell...
