The domestication of maize is one of the greatest examples of humankind's impact on evolution. Early farmers' pre-industrial ...

New insights into the maize genome must be incorporated into breeding programs to realize the potential of crop genomics. You have full access to this article via your institution. The wealth of ...

The study began with resequencing this large-scale population of maize inbred lines. After variant calling and quality control, 437,081 high-quality SNP markers covering the entire genome were ...

The researchers surmised that the newly assembled A188 might serve as a new reference genome to clone functional genes of different traits in maize. You are free to share and adapt the material.

McClintock’s maize breeding experiments provided the first detailed descriptions of transposable elements. What exactly are these “jumping genes,” and why are they so important? As ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.
