Characterizing introgression-by-environment interactions using maize near isogenic lines
Significant introgression-by-environment interactions are observed for traits throughout development from small introgressed segments of the genome.

Open AccessThe maize W22 genome provides a foundation for functional genomics and transposon biology
The maize W22 inbred has served as a platform for maize genetics since the mid twentieth century. To streamline maize genome analyses, we have sequenced and de novo assembled a W22 reference genome using short...

Chapter
The Maize Methylome
DNA methylation is a chromatin modification that has generally been associated with gene silencing or heterochromatin. Plants have mechanisms to allow for the stable inheritance of DNA methylation through mito...

Exploiting induced and natural epigenetic variation for crop improvement
Substantial natural variation in DNA methylation patterns exists within many plant species. This variation can influence gene expression and plant traits.

Utilization of deletion bins to anchor and order sequences along the wheat 7B chromosome
A total of 3,671 sequence contigs and scaffolds were mapped to deletion bins on wheat chromosome 7B providing a foundation for develo** high-resolution integrated physical map for this chromo...

Comparative population genomics of maize domestication and improvement
Jeff Ross-Ibarra and colleagues report a population genomic analysis of maize evolution. They analyze genome-wide evidence for selection during the initial domestication of wild maize and during the improvemen...

Genome-wide patterns of genetic variation among elite maize inbred lines
Jun Wang and colleagues report the resequencing of six elite maize inbred lines. The authors identified over 1 million SNPs and 30,000 insertion or deletion polymorphisms in this agricultural crop.

Chapter
Imprinting in Maize
Genomic imprinting in the maize endosperm results in differential expression of maternal and paternal alleles depending on their parental origin. The availability of sequence polymorphisms between different ma...

Open AccessGene expression analyses in maize inbreds and hybrids with varying levels of heterosis
Heterosis is the superior performance of F1 hybrid progeny relative to the parental phenotypes. Maize exhibits heterosis for a wide range of traits, however the magnitude of heterosis is highly variable depending...
