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.

ZmCCT and the genetic basis of day-length adaptation underlying the postdomestication spread of maize [PDF]
, 2012 Teosinte, the progenitor of maize, is restricted to tropical environments in Mexico and Central America. The pre-Columbian spread of maize from its center of origin in tropical Southern Mexico to the higher latitudes of the Americas required ...

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 ...

Pervasive gene content variation and copy number variation in maize and its undomesticated progenitor [PDF]
, 2010 Individuals of the same species are generally thought to have very similar genomes. However, there is growing evidence that structural variation in the form of copy number variation (CNV) and presence-absence variation (PAV) can lead to variation in the ...

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.The final leaf length of maize (Zea mays) was reduced due to the pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides infection as a result of increased expression of miR396 in the elongation zone and decreased expression of miR319 in the mature zone of maize leaves, leading to antagonistic regulation of the expression of the GRF15 and TCP38, respectively ...
