Landraces (traditional varieties) of domesticated species preserve useful genetic variation,
yet they remain untapped due to the genetic linkage between the few useful alleles and …

Flowering time is a complex trait that controls adaptation of plants to their local environment
in the outcrossing species Zea mays (maize). We dissected variation for flowering time with …

Flowering time is one of the major adaptive traits in domestication of maize and an important
selection criterion in breeding. To detect more maize flowering time variants we evaluated …

Maize is a globally valuable commodity and one of the most extensively studied genetic
model organisms. However, we know surprisingly little about the extent and potential utility …

The migration of maize from tropical to temperate climates was accompanied by a dramatic
evolution in flowering time. To gain insight into the genetic architecture of this adaptive trait …

Convergent phenotypic evolution provides some of the strongest evidence for adaptation.
However, the extent to which recurrent phenotypic adaptation has arisen via parallelism at …

Flowering time is a fundamental trait of maize adaptation to different agricultural
environments. Although a large body of information is available on the map position of …

After domestication, during a process of widespread range extension, barley adapted to a
broad spectrum of agricultural environments. To explore how the barley genome responded …

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 …

Variation in maize for response to photoperiod is related to geographical adaptation in the
species. Maize possesses homologs of many genes identified as regulators of flowering …
