Study of the degree of metal accumulation and toxicity of corn plants grown on heavy metals contaminated (artificially) soil [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The Aim of this research is to examine the ability of maize (Zea mays) to accumulate heavy metals and assess the bio-concentration factor (BCF) by collecting, and analyzing data on heavy metal concentrations in Zea mays.

The relevance of gene flow with wild relatives in understanding the domestication process [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The widespread use of genomic tools has allowed for a deeper understanding of the genetics and the evolutionary dynamics of domestication. Recent studies have suggested that multiple domestications and introgression are more common than previously ...

Ecogeography of teosinte. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Adaptation of crops to climate change has motivated an increasing interest in the potential value of novel traits from wild species; maize wild relatives, the teosintes, harbor traits that may be useful to maize breeding.

Teosinte inflorescence phytolith assemblages mirror Zea taxonomy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Molecular DNA analyses of the New World grass (Poaceae) genus Zea, comprising five species, has resolved taxonomic issues including the most likely teosinte progenitor (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis) of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays).

Genetic diversity and structure of native maize races from Northwestern Mexico [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017 : The objective of this work was to evaluate the genetic diversity of nine maize races (Zea mays ssp. mays) from Northwestern Mexico and one population of teosinte of the Balsas race (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis).

Cultivation has selected for a wider niche and large range shifts in maize [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple crop cultivated on a global scale. However, its ability to feed the rapidly growing human population may be impaired by climate change, especially if it has low climatic niche and range lability.

Inferences from the historical distribution of wild and domesticated maize provide ecological and evolutionary insight. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The species Zea mays includes both domesticated maize (ssp. mays) and its closest wild relatives known as the teosintes. While genetic and archaeological studies have provided a well-established history of Z.

A pan-Zea genome map for enhancing maize improvement
Genome Biology, 2022 Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is at the vanguard facing the upcoming breeding challenges. However, both a super pan-genome for the Zea genus and a comprehensive genetic variation map for maize breeding are still lacking.
