Genome assembly and population genomic analysis reveal the genetic basis of popcorn evolution. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Popcorn, one of the world's most popular snack foods, represents the most ancient type of maize domesticated by humans. However, the genetic basis underlying popcorn evolution and kernel‐popping traits remains largely unknown. In this study, we assembled a high‐quality genome sequence of the popcorn landrace Strawberry Popcorn (SP) and ...

Cytogenetic study of a tetraploid hybrid Zea diploperennis x Zea perennis [PDF]

CYTOLOGIA, 1985
It had been obtained a tetraploid hybrid (2n=40), crossing Z. diploperennis (2n=20) with Z. perennis (2n=40) by non disjunction of the gametes of Z. diploperennis.The cytological study indicated that there were no univalents and trivalents.

Pest categorisation of Stenocarpella maydis. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2022
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Stenocarpella maydis, a clearly defined fungus causing seedling blight, stalk and ear rot in maize, its only confirmed main host. The pathogen occurs in many countries of North, Central and South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania where maize is grown commercially.

Breeding maize (Zea mays) for Striga resistance: Past, current and prospects in sub-saharan africa. [PDF]

Plant Breed, 2021
Abstract Striga hermonthica, causes up to 100% yield loss in maize production in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Developing Striga‐resistant maize cultivars could be a major component of integrated Striga management strategies. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of maize breeding activities related to Striga resistance and its management.

Maize-Tripsacum-Teosinte allopolyploid (MTP), a novel dwarf mutant inducer tool in maize. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Dwarf plant architecture facilitates dense planting, and increased planting densities boost the maize yield. However, breeding applications of dwarfing materials for maize are currently limited. There is an urgent need remove the obstacles to applying dwarf resources.

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.

Cryptic homoeology analysis in species and hybrids of genus Zea [PDF]

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Cryptic intergenomic pairing of genus Zea was induced by the use of a diluted colchicine solution in order to elucidate the phylogenetic relations and differentiation of the homoeologous genomes. Results indicate that in species and hybrids with 2n = 20,
