Over the last few decades, next-generation sequencing has revolutionized the way that
genetic diversity is preserved, studied, and used. Maize, because it is one of the most …

The phenotypic and genetic diversity of maize worldwide is remarkable. This chapter
summarizes decades of studies of the genetic diversity of maize populations from different …

At long last, the sequencing of the maize genome has begun. It is probably fair to say that no
other large community of biologists has waited as long for a genome sequence or is as well …

Despite the availability of numerous molecular markers in maize, effective evaluation of all
types of germplasm resources, accurate identification of varieties and analysis of a large …

Abstract The Maize Genetics and Genomics Database (MaizeGDB) is the community
resource for maize researchers, offering a suite of tools, informatics resources, and curated …

Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) populations exhibit vast ranges of genetic and phenotypic
diversity. As sequencing costs have declined, an increasing number of projects have sought …

Background Genotyping by sequencing, a new low-cost, high-throughput sequencing
technology was used to genotype 2,815 maize inbred accessions, preserved mostly at the …

For the first time in its history, the Annual Maize Genetics Conference was held in Mexico
City, near the center of origin for many Zea species, including maize. Maize research has …

Since the beginning of recorded history, maize has been cultivated and evolved. Globally,
maize is among the three leading staple food grains. The domestication of maize is believed …

Maize is an important crop for food, feed, forage, and fuel across tropical and temperate
areas of the world. Diversity studies at genetic, molecular, and functional levels have …
