From Many, One: Genetic Control of Prolificacy during Maize Domestication [PDF]
PLoS Genetics 2013 9(6): e1003604, 2013 A reduction in number and an increase in size of inflorescences is a common aspect of plant domestication. When maize was domesticated from teosinte, the number and arrangement of ears changed dramatically. Teosinte has long lateral branches that bear multiple small ears at their nodes and tassels at their tips.
