This book describes a study where agronomic, physiological, and proteomic approaches were combined to explore drought-resistance features in three common Mozambican open-pollinated maize varieties, Matuba, ZM309, and ZM523, and further including B73 as the control variety. Maize is the most important food crop in Mozambique. However, its production is low and cyclically impaired by droughts. Several strategies are in place to overcome this scenario, such as generating drought-resilient genotypes. The work showed that intercropping and mineral fertilizer contribute to increasing maize...
