The population genetics of convergent adaptation in maize and teosinte is not locally restricted. [PDF]

Elife, 2023
What is the genetic architecture of local adaptation and what is the geographic scale over which it operates? We investigated patterns of local and convergent adaptation in five sympatric population pairs of traditionally cultivated maize and its wild ...

The ancestral environment of teosinte populations shapes their root microbiome. [PDF]

Environ Microbiome
Summary Background The composition of the root microbiome affects the host’s growth, with variation in the host genome associated with microbiome variation.

Genetic, evolutionary and plant breeding insights from the domestication of maize. [PDF]

eLife, 2015
The natural history of maize began nine thousand years ago when Mexican farmers started to collect the seeds of the wild grass, teosinte. Invaluable as a food source, maize permeated Mexican culture and religion.

Complex patterns of local adaptation in teosinte [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2012
Populations of widely distributed species often encounter and adapt to specific environmental conditions. However, comprehensive characterization of the genetic basis of adaptation is demanding, requiring genome-wide genotype data, multiple sampled ...

De novo assembly of transcriptomes from a B73 maize line introgressed with a QTL for resistance to gray leaf spot disease reveals a candidate allele of a lectin receptor-like kinase [PDF]

, 2020
Gray leaf spot (GLS) disease in maize, caused by the fungus Cercospora zeina, is a threat to maize production globally. Understanding the molecular basis for quantitative resistance to GLS is therefore important for food security.

Disentangling the effects of geographic and ecological isolation on genetic differentiation [PDF]

, 2013
Populations can be genetically isolated both by geographic distance and by differences in their ecology or environment that decrease the rate of successful migration.

Is there any genetic variation among native mexican and argentinian populations of Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)?. [PDF]

, 2012
The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (Delong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) originated in Mexico, but is found from southeastern and southwestern USA to Argentina.

Hybrid Decay: A Transgenerational Epigenetic Decline in Vigor and Viability Triggered in Backcross Populations of Teosinte with Maize. [PDF]

, 2019
In the course of generating populations of maize with teosinte chromosomal introgressions, an unusual sickly plant phenotype was noted in individuals from crosses with two teosinte accessions collected near Valle de Bravo, Mexico.
