    Abstract/Description
    Knowledge of the heterotic responses of elite adapted and exotic maize inbred lines can facilitate their utilization for population improvement and hybrid development. In the present study, a line x tester mating design was used to determine the combining ability of 20 elite drought-tolerant maize inbred lines developed at CIMMYT and IITA and to classify them into heterotic groups under diverse growing conditions. The 20 lines were crossed each with two inbred line testers representing the tropical and temperate heterotic pattern established in West and Cental Africa (WCA), to generate 40 testcrosses. A trial comprising the 40 testcrosses along with the cross between the two testers and three hybrid checks were evaluated at two environments in the dry season and at six environments in the rainy season. GCA effects were more important than SCA effects in controlling grain yield in both seasons. Two exotic lines in the dry season and four exotic lines in the rainy season had significantly positive GCA effects. Only EXL22 was identified as a superior line in the two seasons. Only two adapted lines had significantly positive GCA effects in either or both seasons while three adapted lines consistently had significantly negative GCA effects in both seasons. Hybrid between EXL22 and tester 9071 showed broad adaptation to all test environments. The two testers separated some of the lines into two main heterotic groups. the lines in each heterotic group and the good combiners will be utilized for developing populations for extracting new improved inbred lines.

      Evaluation of drought tolerant maize hybrids for tolerance to heat and combined drought and heat stresses 

      Adegun, A.A. (University of Ibadan, 2019-12)
      Low maize yields and the impacts of climate change on maize production shows the need to improve yields in Sub-Saharan Africa. Thus the objective of this study is to evaluate DT maize hybrids under heat and combined heat and drought stresses and to determine the relationship between grain yield and other agronomical trait. In this study two groups of hybrids were used. Eighteen top cross maize hybrids, one local check and a standard check laid-out in alpha lattice of 5x4 with two replicates, the ...

      Identification of drought, heat, and combined drought and heat tolerant donors in maize 

      Cairns, Jill E.; Crossa, J.; Zaidi, P.H.; Grudloymad P; Sanchezb C; Araus, J.L.; Thaitad S; Makumbi, Dan; Magorokosho, C.; Bänziger, Marianne; Menkirf A; Hearnef S; Atlin, Gary (2013-04-17)
      Low maize (Zea maysL.) yields and the impacts of climate change on maize production highlight the need to improve yields in eastern and southern Africa. Climate projections suggest higher temperatures within drought-prone areas. Research in model species suggests that tolerance to combined drought and heat stress is genetically distinct from tolerance to either stress alone, but this has not been confirmed in maize. In this study we evaluated 300 maize inbred lines testcrossed to CML539. Experiments ...

      Genetic diversity, population structure and inter-trait relationships of combined heat and drought tolerant early-maturing maize inbred lines from west and central Africa 

      Osuman, A.S.; Badu-Apraku, B.; Ifie, B.E.; Tongoona, P.; Obeng-Bio, E.; Garcia-Oliveira, A.L. (2020-09-04)
      Adequate knowledge and understanding of the genetic diversity and inter-trait relationships among elite maize inbred lines are crucial for determining breeding strategies and predicting hybrid performance. The objectives of this study were to investigate the genetic diversity of 162 early maturing white and yellow tropical maize inbred lines, and to determine the population structure, heterotic groups and inter-trait relationships among the lines. Using 9684 DArT single nucleotide polymorphism ...
