New and improved maize hybrids, developed by the CIMMYT Global Maize Program, are available for uptake by public and private sector partners, especially those interested in marketing or disseminating hybrid maize seed across Eastern Africa and similar agro-ecologies in other regions. Each year, CIMMYT’s Global Maize Program conducts regional on-station and on-farm hybrid maize trials through a network of NARS and private seed companies in eastern and southern Africa under various management and environmental conditions. Promising maize hybrids developed by the CIMMYT-Africa team, along with relevant checks from private seed companies and National Agricultural Research Programs, are included in these trials. Phenotypic data collected in Stage 4 and Stage 5 trials for the selected hybrids from Product Profile 1A (PP1A) as well as information about the trial sites and management and environmental conditions are provided in this dataset.

51th International Durum Screening Nursery

Karim Ammar Thomas Payne (2020, [Dataset])

International Durum Screening Nursery (IDSN) distributes diverse CIMMYT-bred spring durum wheat germplasm adapted to irrigated and variable moisture stressed environments. Disease resistance and high industrial pasta quality are essential traits possessed in this germplasm. It is distributed to 100 locations, and contains 150 entries.

Replication Data for: Incorporating male sterility increases hybrid maize yield in low input African farming systems

Hugo De Groote Jill Cairns Michael Olsen (2021, [Dataset])

In sub-Saharan Africa, maize is a staple crop but yields remain sub-optimal. A novel hybrid seed technology offers the opportunity to reduce seed production costs and increase yields. This dataset contains data from on-farm and on-station trials collected in 2017 to 2019 in South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe to assess this hybrid seed production technology. The results of the analysis are presented in the accompanying article.

37th Semi-Arid Wheat Screening Nursery

Ravi Singh Thomas Payne (2020, [Dataset])

The Semi-Arid Wheat Screening Nursery (SAWSN) is a single replicate trial that contains diverse spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to low rainfall, drought prone, semi-arid environments typically receiving less than 500 mm of water available during the cropping cycle. CIMMYT's breeding approach attempts to combine high yield potential with drought resistance for ME4. The combination of water-use efficiency and water responsive traits plus yield potential is important in drought environments where rainfall is frequently erratic across years. When rains are significantly above average in certain years, the crop must respond appropriately (water responsive) with higher yields, while expressing resistance to the wider suite of diseases that appear under more favorable conditions. Constrains including leaf, stem and yellow rusts, and Septoria spp., Fusarium spp., Pyrenophora tritici-repentis tan spot, nematodes and root rots must be considered. It is distributed to 120 locations, and contains 150-250 entries.

Replication Data for: High-resolution spectral information enables phenotyping of leaf epicuticular wax in wheat

Fatima Camarillo-Castillo Suchismita Mondal Matthew Paul Reynolds (2020, [Dataset])

Current limitations on phenotyping EW restrict the integration of this secondary trait into wheat breeding pipelines. In this study we evaluated the application of high-resolution spectral information as a proxy estimate of the trait and developed an efficient indirect method for the selection of genotypes with high EW density.
