… Data from oat and maize indicate that chromosome rearrangements are primarily due to
chromosome breakage events (summarized in Kaeppler and Phillips, 1993a). In maize, …

Domestication and plant breeding are ongoing 10,000-year-old evolutionary experiments
that have radically altered wild species to meet human needs. Maize has undergone a …

Plants regenerated from relatively undifferentiated callus cultures possess a vast array of
genetic changes. Such variations can result in useful agricultural and horticultural products. For …

We present a method to visually score 10 root architectural traits of the root crown of an adult
maize plant in the field in a few minutes. Phenotypic profiling of three recombinant inbred …

Whereas breeders have exploited diversity in maize for yield improvements, there has been
limited progress in using beneficial alleles in undomesticated varieties. Characterizing …

Maize is an important model species and a major constituent of human and animal diets. It
has also emerged as a potential feedstock and model system for bioenergy research due to …

Genomes at the species level are dynamic, with genes present in every individual (core)
and genes in a subset of individuals (dispensable) that collectively constitute the pan-genome. …

Maize (Zea mays L.) growth at low soil P levels is affected both by inherent physiological
factors as well as interactions with soil microbes. The objectives of this study were (i) to quantify …

This paper originates from an address at the 8th International Symposium on Nitrogen Fixation
with Non-Legumes, Sydney, NSW, December 2000 The objective of this work over the …

Comprehensive and systematic transcriptome profiling provides valuable insight into biological
and developmental processes that occur throughout the life cycle of a plant. We have …
