| Genome-wide association analysis of grain yield and Striga hermonthica and S. asiatica resistance in tropical and sub-tropical maize populations |
Emeline N. Dossa, Hussein Shimelis, and Admire I. T Shayanowako School of Agricultural, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Private Bag X01, Scottsville, Pietermaritzburg 3209, South Africa This study reports novel QTL and related genes for Striga asiatica and S. hermonthica resistance in maize. No QTL associated with dual resistance was found, suggesting that […] |

| Genetic diversity analysis of tropical and subtropical maize germplasm for Striga resistance and agronomic traits with SNP markers |
Emeline N. Dossa*, Hussein Shimelis, Admire I. T. Shayanowako In this study, genetically diverse and complementary lines were selected among tropical and sub-tropical maize populations that will facilitate the breeding of maize varieties with Striga resistance and market-preferred traits. Fig 3. Sub-population inference among the 126 maize genotypes based on 16000 SNPs: (A) likelihood and […] |

| Screening tropical and sub‑tropical maize germplasm for resistance to Striga hermonthica and S. asiatica and yield‑related traits |
Emeline N. Dossa · Hussein Shimelis · Admire I. T. Shayanowako · Mark D. Laing https://doi.org/10.1007/s10681-024-03309-2 Our study identifies tropical and sub-tropical maize varieties with dual resistance to Striga asiatica and S. hermonthica, prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This discovery is instrumental in breeding new maize cultivars with stable Striga resistance and enhanced grain yield, […] |
