Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

Maize has for many decades been both one of the most important crops worldwide and one
of the primary genetic model organisms. More recently, maize breeding has been impacted …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

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 transcription regulatory network inside a eukaryotic cell is defined by the combinatorial
actions of transcription factors (TFs). However, TF binding studies in plants are too few in …

From its tropical origin in southwestern Mexico, maize spread over a wide latitudinal cline in
the Americas. This feat defies the rule that crops are inhibited from spreading easily across …

Genomic Selection (GS) has been proved to be a powerful tool for estimating genetic values
in plant and livestock breeding. Newly developed sequencing technologies have …

Maize (Zea mays) originated in southern Mexico and has spread over a wide latitudinal
range. Maize expansion from tropical to temperate regions has necessitated a reduction of …

Abstract Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) is a low-cost, high-throughput genotyping
method that relies on restriction enzymes to reduce genome complexity. GBS is being widely …

Plants have served as sources providing humans with metabolites for food and nutrition,
biomaterials for living, and treatment for pain and disease. Plants produce a huge array of …
