Ms44-SPT: unique genetic technology simplifies and improves hybrid maize seed production in sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract Hybrid maize seed production in Africa is dependent upon manual detasseling of the female parental lines, often resulting in plant damage that can lead to reduced seed yields on those detasseled lines. Additionally, incomplete detasseling can result in hybrid purity issues that can lead to...
