We have asked here how the remarkable variation in maize haplotype structure affects recombination. We compared recombination across a genetic interval of 95 in 2 highly dissimilar heterozygotes that ...

Association studies have rarely been used in plant genetics, in part because of the risk of false positives caused by population structure. A study of flowering time in maize makes the first use of ...

Because of the economic importance of maize and its scientific importance as a model system for studies of domestication, its evolutionary history is of general interest. We analyzed the population ...

Using a novel technique called scRNA-seq, scientists were able to identify and characterise the major cell types in the root-tip of the maize crop, along with their developmental pathways and many ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. In this study, the authors comprehensively evaluated the ecological risks of cultivating GG2 and applying glyphosate on microbial community composition and ...
