Identification of Gene Markers in Aflatoxin-Resistant Maize Lines Developed Through the IITA-USDA-SRRC COLLABORATION

Objective

1. Use the kernel screening assay (KSA) to screen seed of best segregating materials from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) for aflatoxin-resistance, and to identify closely-related lines. 2. Conduct field trials of the six TZAR inbreds (as inbreds and hybrids) already developed and released by the IITA-Southern Regional Research Center (SRRC) collaborative project. 3. Conduct proteome analysis on the six TZAR inbred lines to identify resistance-associated proteins (RAPs)/potential markers.
