Maize is a globally valuable commodity and one of the most extensively studied genetic
model organisms. However, we know surprisingly little about the extent and potential utility …

The transcription regulatory network inside a eukaryotic cell is defined by the combinatorial
actions of transcription factors (TFs). However, TF binding studies in plants are too few in …

From its tropical origin in southwestern Mexico, maize spread over a wide latitudinal cline in
the Americas. This feat defies the rule that crops are inhibited from spreading easily across …

Genomic Selection (GS) has been proved to be a powerful tool for estimating genetic values
in plant and livestock breeding. Newly developed sequencing technologies have …

Abstract Genoty**-by-Sequencing (GBS) is a low-cost, high-throughput genoty**
method that relies on restriction enzymes to reduce genome complexity. GBS is being widely …

It has been just over a decade since the release of the maize (Zea mays) Nested Association
Map** (NAM) population. The NAM population has been and continues to be an …

Maize (Zea mays) originated in southern Mexico and has spread over a wide latitudinal
range. Maize expansion from tropical to temperate regions has necessitated a reduction of …
