Building a botanical foundation for perennial agriculture: Global inventory of wild, perennial herbaceous Fabaceae species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 375-386, October 2019., 2019
Wild, perennial, herbaceous plant species have the capacity to provide both agricultural products and ecological services, such as soil stability and efficient absorption, over multiple years. Although perennial, herbaceous species are common in nature, these species were rarely domesticated.

Stable centromere positioning in diverse sequence contexts of complex and satellite centromeres of maize and wild relatives

Genome Biology, 2017
Background Paradoxically, centromeres are known both for their characteristic repeat sequences (satellite DNA) and for being epigenetically defined. Maize (Zea mays mays) is an attractive model for studying centromere positioning because many of its ...

The Genomic Signature of Crop-Wild Introgression in Maize [PDF]

, 2013
The evolutionary significance of hybridization and subsequent introgression has long been appreciated, but evaluation of the genome-wide effects of these phenomena has only recently become possible.

The Use of Crop Wild Relatives in Maize and Sunflower Breeding

Crop Science, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 1227-1240, May–June 2017., 2017
Conservation of crop wild relatives (CWR) has always been predicated on the promise of new and useful traits, and thus modern genetics and genomics tools must help fulfill the promise and continue to secure the conservation of these resources. However, the vast genetic potential present in CWR is often difficult to tap, as identification of superior ...

Reactive Oxygen Species, Oxidative Damage, and Antioxidative Defense Mechanism in Plants under Stressful Conditions

Journal of Botany, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a normal product of plant cellular metabolism. Various environmental stresses lead to excessive production of ROS causing progressive oxidative damage and ultimately cell death. Despite their destructive activity, they are well‐described second messengers in a variety of cellular processes, including ...

Bacterial endophytes from wild maize suppress Fusarium graminearum in modern maize and inhibit mycotoxin accumulation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Wild maize (teosinte) has been reported to be less susceptible to pests than their modern maize (corn) relatives. Endophytes, defined as microbes that inhabit plants without causing disease, are known for their ability to antagonize plant pests and ...
