Identifying suitable tester for evaluating Striga resistant lines using DArTseq markers and agronomic traits.

A desirable tester that elicits greater genetic difference in Striga resistance among test crosses in a breeding program has not been reported. Therefore, this study was conducted to characterize 30 Striga resistant yellow endosperm maize inbred lines and three testers with varying resistance levels...
