recurrent selection for maydis leaf blight resistance and grain yield improvement in maize.	leaf blight of maize (zea mays l.), caused by bipolaris maydis (nisik. and miyake), is one of the major factors limiting maize production in the plain areas of pakistan, particularly in the north west frontier province (nwfp). the objectives of this study were to estimate selection differential, expected and observed response to selection and heritability for maydis leaf blight resistance and grain yield and to determine progress from selection in a maize population. two cycles of s, recurrent s ...	2007	19093473
mould incidence and mycotoxin contamination in maize kernels from swat valley, north west frontier province of pakistan.	mould incidence and aflatoxin b1 (afb1) and ochratoxin a (ota) contamination as well as proximate composition and minerals content of maize kernels from swat valley, north west frontier province of pakistan was studied during the year, 2007. results indicated that the mean moisture content of the kernels was within the recommended safe storage levels of 15%. across the whole valley, aspergillus, fusarium, penicillium and rhizopus were the most predominant fungal genera identified and amongst the ...	2010	20138951
