Maize (Zea mays L.) is now a major important cereal crop in the world, and is a multipurpose crop. It belongs to tribe Maydeae of the Poaceae (Gramineae) grass family, and is the only cultivated species in its genus. Phenotype is a result of genotype and environmental interaction. Therefore, assessment of desired genotypes is highly dependent on proper environmental conditions. A biotic stresses (particularly drought, high temperature, salinity and others) generally reduce crop productivity. These stresses are location-specific, exhibiting variation in frequency, intensity, and duration....
