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.

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.

Spontaneous Hybridization between Maize and Teosinte [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2007
The closest wild relatives of maize, Zea mays ssp. mays are various Zea taxa known as "teosinte." Hybrids between maize and the teosinte taxon, Zea mays ssp. mexicana, often occur when the 2 are sympatric in Mexico. Measuring the spontaneous hybridization rate of the 2 taxa would shed light on the mechanisms contributing to the evolution and ...

The genetic architecture of the maize progenitor, teosinte, and how it was altered during maize domestication. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2020
The genetics of domestication has been extensively studied ever since the rediscovery of Mendel's law of inheritance and much has been learned about the genetic control of trait differences between crops and their ancestors.

Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the genus Zea. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Taxonomic differentiation of teosinte species (Zea spp.), the closest relatives of maize (Z. mays) is crucial for understanding their distribution, ecology, and evolutionary history. Resolving the taxonomic uncertainties is of scientific interest and has practical implications for biodiversity management, preservation, and utilization.

Multi-locus genetic basis of stomatal density and size in maize revealed by integrated QTL and GWAS. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY Stomatal patterning is a fundamental aspect of plant photosynthetic performance and water‐use efficiency, yet its genetic basis in C4 grasses such as maize remains poorly understood. Here, we integrated linkage analysis across three recombinant inbred line populations and a genome‐wide association study in a diverse maize panel to dissect the ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Fertilization Biology of Maize and Teosinte [PDF]

, 2012
By studying cultivated maize and its wild closest relative, Balsas teosinte, I addressed two questions: 1) female gametophyte development and double fertilization in Balsas teosinte (Zea mays subsp. parviglumis), and 2) kin recognition within a seed: the
