Genetic Diversity among Selected Elite CIMMYT Maize Hybrids in East and Southern Africa

2017-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Genetic gain within the CIMMYT Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) breeding program from 2000 to 2010 was recently estimated at 0.85 to 2.2% yr⁻¹ under various environmental conditions. Over 100 varieties were disseminated from CIMMYT to farmers in ESA, hence the need to check genetic diversity and frequency of use of parents to avoid potential narrowing down of the genetic base. Fifty‐fiv...
