Maize Lethal Necrosis disease: review of molecular and genetic resistance mechanisms, socio-economic impacts, and mitigation strategies in sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract Background Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) disease is a significant constraint for maize producers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).The disease decimates the maize crop, in some cases, causing total crop failure with far-reaching impacts on regional food security.Results In this review, we analyze the impacts of MLN Jackets in Africa, finding that
