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 in Europe – Searching for the Origin of a Novel Weed [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 A novel weed has recently emerged, causing serious agronomic damage in one of the most important maize-growing regions of Western Europe, the Northern Provinces of Spain.

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).

The role of cis regulatory evolution in maize domestication. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Gene expression differences between divergent lineages caused by modification of cis regulatory elements are thought to be important in evolution. We assayed genome-wide cis and trans regulatory differences between maize and its wild progenitor, teosinte,

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Modern maize exhibits a significantly different phenotype than its wild progenitor teosinte despite many genetic similarities. Of the many subspecies of Zea mays identified as teosinte, Zea mays ssp.

HETEROSIS, CORRELATION AND PATH COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS FOR FORAGE YIELD AND ITS CONTRIBUTING TRAITS OF MAIZE X TEOSINTE HYBRIDS IN TWO SEASONS [PDF]
Journal of Plant Production, 2011 A local ecotype of teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana Schrad.) and eight different maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes were crossed to generate eight crosses as well as their eight reciprocals to study the heterosis, nature of associations between dry forage yield ...

INFLUENCE OF MINERAL AND BIOFERTILIZER ON FORAGE YIELD AND QUALITY TRAITS OF TEOSINTE [PDF]
Journal of Plant Production, 2009 Two field experiments were conducted at two locations; New Valley and Giza Agric. Res. Stations, ARC during the two successive summer seasons of 2007 and 2008 to study the influences of inoculation with Cyanobacteria, Azospirillum and Pseudomonas ...

Complex Patterns of Local Adaptation in Teosinte [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2013 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 populations, and a good understanding of population structure.

Heterosis and Combining Ability in Hybrids of Teosinte [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2018 Seven teosinte inbred lines (four lines as females and three lines as male parents) derived through selection from segregating generation of three crosses were used in this investigation. They were utilized in a factorial mating design in the 2014 summer
