Journal ArticleDOI
Determining the optimum gamma irradiation dose for developing novel maize genotypes
Prince M. Matova,Casper Nyaradzai Kamutando,Fatma Sarsu,Cosmos Magorokosho,Maryke Labuschagne +4 more
TL;DR: The study showed that maize seeds were responsive to gamma irradiation and optimal doses can be used to generate novel genetic variability for effective breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of a farmer-preferred maize landrace population from a multiple-stress-prone subtropical lowland environment
Fortunate Makore,Edmore Gasura,Caleb Souta,Upenyu Mazarura,John Derera,Meluleki Zikhali,Casper Nyaradzai Kamutando,Cosmos Magorokosho,Shorai Dari +8 more
TL;DR: The private alleles that were present in the J lines suggest availability of stress-tolerant genes that breeders can incorporate in new hybrids, indicating high gene exchange and low genetic differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining Ability for Grain Yield Performance among CIMMYT Germplasm Adapted to the Mid-Altitude Conditions
TL;DR: The results show that CIMMYT has new lines that have desirable adaptive attributes when grown under drought and low nitrogen stress environments in the mid-altitude region; hence these can be adopted for hybrid, synthetic and OPV formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
New techniques for breeding maize ( Zea mays ) varieties with fall armyworm resistance and market‐preferred traits for sub‐Saharan Africa
Prince M. Matova,Casper N. Kamutando,Marilyn L. Warburton,Paul Williams,Cosmos Magorokosho,Hussein Shimelis,Maryke Labuschagne,Roger Day,Manje Gowda +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identified challenges and opportunities for effective and accelerated breeding of demand-led maize hybrids with fall armyworm (SA) resistance and adaptation to the diverse agro-ecologies of SSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Evaluation and Correlation Analysis Among Various Quantitative Traits in Maize Single-Cross Hybrids Under Diverse Environments
Fortunate Makore,Cosmos Magorokosho,Shorai Dari,Edmore Gasura,Upenyu Mazarura,Casper Nyaradzai Kamutando,Xavier Mhike +6 more
TL;DR: The strong association with grain yield implied that these can be used as secondary traits to indirectly select for grain yield performance in this set of germplasm across all the environments.
