Journal ArticleDOI
On-Farm Yield Gains with Stress-Tolerant Maize in Eastern and Southern Africa
Peter Setimela,Cosmos Magorokosho,Rodney Lunduka,Edmore Gasura,Dan Makumbi,Amsal Tarekegne,Jill E. Cairns,Thokozile Ndhlela,Olaf Erenstein,Wilfred Mwangi +9 more
TL;DR: Drought stress and low N will remain major challenges in the region where most farmers have limited capacity to invest into the inputs and season-to-season variability in maize yields is extremely high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine mapping of Msv1, a major QTL for resistance to Maize Streak Virus leads to development of production markers for breeding pipelines
Sudha K. Nair,Raman Babu,Cosmos Magorokosho,George Mahuku,Kassa Semagn,Yoseph Beyene,Biswajit Das,Dan Makumbi,P. Lava Kumar,Michael Olsen,Prasanna M. Boddupalli +10 more
TL;DR: Msv1, the major QTL for MSV resistance was delimited to an interval of 0.87 cM on chromosome 1 at 87 Mb and production markers with high prediction accuracy were developed and Haplotype trend regression identified a haplotype block significantly associated with response to MSV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotype × Environment Interaction of Maize Grain Yield Using AMMI Biplots
Thokozile Ndhlela,Liezel Herselman,Cosmos Magorokosho,Peter Setimela,Charles Mutimaamba,Maryke Labuschagne +5 more
Journal ArticleDOI
High-throughput method for ear phenotyping and kernel weight estimation in maize using ear digital imaging.
R. Makanza,Mainassara Zaman-Allah,Jill E. Cairns,Joseph Eyre,Juan Burgueño,Ángela Pacheco,Christine H. Diepenbrock,Cosmos Magorokosho,Amsal Tarekegne,Michael Olsen,Boddupalli M. Prasanna +10 more
TL;DR: The method developed provides an opportunity to significantly reduce the cost of selection in the breeding process, especially for resource constrained crop improvement programs and can be used to learn more about the genetic bases of grain yield determinants.
Book ChapterDOI
High-Throughput and Precision Phenotyping for Cereal Breeding Programs
Boddupalli M. Prasanna,José Luis Araus,José Crossa,Jill E. Cairns,Natalia Palacios,Biswajit Das,Cosmos Magorokosho +6 more
TL;DR: The future of cereal production, and consequently, the livelihoods of several million small farmers worldwide, is dependent to a great extent on developing improved high yielding varieties of cereals.
