An ultimate objective of QTL mapping is cloning genes responsible for quantitative traits.
However, projects seldom go beyond segments< 5 cM without subsequent breeding and …

Teosinte (Zea mays subsp. parviglumis HH Iltis & Doebley) has greater genetic diversity
than maize inbreds and landraces (Z. mays subsp. mays). There are, however, limited …

The domesticated crop maize and its wild progenitor, teosinte, have been used in numerous
experiments to investigate the nature of divergent morphologies. This study examines a …

A set of 89 near-isogenic lines (NILs) of maize was created using marker-assisted selection.
Nineteen genomic regions, identified by restriction fragment length polymorphism loci and …

Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are an important resource for mapping genes controlling
complex traits in many species. While RIL populations have been developed for maize, a …

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping is a valuable tool for studying the genetic architecture of
trait variation. Despite the large number of QTL studies reported in the literature, the …

The tb1 region of maize inbred line B73 was characterized previously (accession number:
AF464738)[8]. We constructed bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries for teosinte …

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 …

The vast majority of reported QTL mapping for maize (Zea mays L.) traits are from temperate
germplasm and, also, QTL by environment interaction (QTL× E) has not been thoroughly …

We characterized the genotypic and phenotypic variation in cell wall digestibility (CWD) and
other agronomic traits of 50 backcross 1 generation doubled haploid (BC1DH) lines …
