Enhancing Drought Tolerance and <i>Striga hermonthica</i> Resistance in Maize Using Newly Derived Inbred Lines from the Wild Maize Relative, <i>Zea diploperennis</i>
Recurrent drought and <i>Striga hermonthica</i> (Del.) Benth parasitism constrains maize production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Transfer of resistance genes from wild relatives can improve resistance to drought and <i>Striga</i> in tropical maize. The objectives of this stud...
