    Genetics analysis of multiple stress tolerant extra-early maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines under contrasting environments
    (Department of Crop production and protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Obafemi Awolowo University., 2021) OBISESAN, Oluwafemi Isaiah
    This study evaluated grain yield performance and stability of 210 extra-early maize hybrids across stress and non-stress environments; established the mode of gene action controlling the inheritance of yield and other traits under Striga infestation, drought, optimal conditions and across environments; assessed the combining abilities of the inbreds; classified the lines to heterotic groups based on their combining ability; and determined the efficiency of inbred testers and interrelationship among traits measured. These were with a view to develop and deploy improved hybrids with combined tolerance to these stresses in West and Central Africa.
