Genetic Insights from Line × Tester Analysis of Maize Lethal Necrosis Testcrosses for Developing Multi-Stress-Resilient Hybrids in Sub-Saharan Africa
2025-12-09
Abstract excerpt
A systematic evaluation of maize hybrid performance and combining ability was conducted to enhance resistance to maize lethal necrosis (MLN), drought tolerance, and grain yield (GY) in eastern and southern Africa. Thirty-eight MLN-tolerant, lines were crossed with 29 single-cross testers to generate 437 testcross hybrids, evaluated under managed MLN inoculation, drought stress, and optimum conditions across multip...
