Genetic analysis of grain yield and resistance of extra‐early‐maturing maize inbreds to northern corn leaf blight
2021-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a food security crop in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Incidence of northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum, in lowlands of SSA during the past decade has caused 30–70% reduction in maize yield. This study (a) examined the combining abilities of extra‐early maize (EEM) inbreds and classified them into heterotic groups; (b) elucidated gene action controlling resistance to...
