• Gene action controlling grain yield and secondary traits in southern African maize hybrids under drought and non-drought environments (2008, background): “Dry land production accounts for almost 95% (Banziger and Diallo 2001). Low production of the staple maize has negative impact on regional economies and is reflected by a low annual gross domestic product during drought years in Zimbabwe (Richardson 2005). Drought occurrence is highly unpredictable ”
• Genetic dissection of cotton physiological responses to arid conditions and their inter‐relationships with productivity (2004, background): “Several investigators have identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for improved productivity under arid conditions (Agrama & Moussa 1996; Tuinstra et al .”
