Maize production in a changing climate: Impacts, adaptation, and mitigation strategies
Jill E. Cairns,Kai Sonder,Pervez Haider Zaidi,Nele Verhulst,Nele Verhulst,George Mahuku,Raman Babu,Sudha K. Nair,Biswajit Das,Bram Govaerts,M.T. Vinayan,Zerka Rashid,J.J. Noor,P. Devi,F. M. San Vicente,Boddupalli M. Prasanna +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review focusing on achievements in stress tolerance breeding and physiology and presents future tools for quick and efficient germplasm development is presented to increase maize system resilience to climate-related stresses and mitigate the effects of future climate change.
Journal Article
Integrating marker-assisted selection in crop breeding: Prospects and challenges
TL;DR: The present review discusses the basic requirements and the potential applications of MAS in crop plants, the design parameters in a MAS scheme, recent developments in MAS strategies and genotyping techniques, and the significance of integrating MAS into conventional plant breeding programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Breeding for Nutritionally Enriched Maize: Status and Prospects
Boddupalli M. Prasanna,Natalia Palacios-Rojas,Firoz Hossain,Vignesh Muthusamy,Abebe Menkir,Thanda Dhliwayo,Thokozile Ndhlela,Felix San Vicente,Sudha K. Nair,Bindiganavile S. Vivek,Xuecai Zhang,Michael Olsen,Xingming Fan +12 more
TL;DR: The status and prospects of developing nutritionally enriched maize by successfully harnessing conventional and molecular marker-assisted breeding are outlined, highlighting the need for intensification of efforts to create greater impacts on malnutrition in maize-consuming populations, especially in the low- and middle-income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
QTL mapping in three tropical maize populations reveals a set of constitutive and adaptive genomic regions for drought tolerance
Gustavo Dias de Almeida,Gustavo Dias de Almeida,Dan Makumbi,Cosmos Magorokosho,Sudha K. Nair,Aluízio Borém,Jean-Marcel Ribaut,Marianne Bänziger,Boddupalli M. Prasanna,José Crossa,Raman Babu +10 more
TL;DR: At most of the QTL, almost equal number of favorable alleles was donated by either of the parents within each cross, thereby demonstrating the potential of drought tolerant × drought tolerant crosses to identify QTL under contrasting water regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and validation of genomic regions influencing kernel zinc and iron in maize
Vemuri Hindu,Vemuri Hindu,Natalia Palacios-Rojas,Raman Babu,Raman Babu,Willy Bayuardi Suwarno,Willy Bayuardi Suwarno,Zerka Rashid,Rayalcheruvu Usha,Gajanan Saykhedkar,Sudha K. Nair +10 more
TL;DR: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 923 maize lines and validation in bi-parental populations identified significant genomic regions for kernel-Zinc and-Iron in maize that could hold great value in functional analysis and possible cloning of high-value genes for these traits in maize.
