Characterization of the Genetic Diversity of Cercospora Zeina in Kenya and Mapping the QTL for resistance to Gray Leaf Spot and Turcicum Leaf Blight in Maize
(Maseno university, 2022)
Gray leaf spot (GLS) caused by Cercospora zeina in Africa and Turcicum leaf blight (TLB) caused by Exserohilum turcicum are a major threat to maize production due to the associated grain yield losses. Resistance in the ...
General and specific combining ability for grain and yield components in a diallel cross among selected nine inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L)
(Maseno University, 2023)
Analysis of combining ability plays an important role in identifying elite parents and crosses which can give best combinations based on the performances of their offspring. Hybrid variety production requires broad genetic ...
