In sub-Saharan Africa, substantial yield losses in maize are caused by Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., a parasitic weed. Limited genetic diversity for Striga resistance within the elite maize germplasm, as well as challenges with phenotyping for Striga under artificial infestation constrain breeding for Striga resistance. Genomic prediction may help...

The gender dimension of the maize-based farming system is extremely important. The phenomenon of male out-migration has greatly impacted the dynamics of agricultural labor, leading to more complex gender roles and relationships within households. It is worth noting that almost 90% of migrants are men, which means that women, the elderly, and children are...
