Abstract: Abstract Modern breeding primarily targets crop yield traits and is likely to influence root-associated microbiomes, which play significant roles in plant growth and health. The relative importance of soil and cultivar factors in shaping root-associated… read more here.

Abstract: Maize was domesticated from lowland teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis), but the contribution of highland teosinte (Zea mays ssp. mexicana, hereafter mexicana) to modern maize is not clear. Here, two genomes for Mo17 (a modern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.02.23.481166
Abstract: Archaeological cobs from Paredones and Huaca Prieta (Peru) are phenotypically indistinguishable from modern maize. This contrasts with the earliest Mexican macro-specimens from Guila Naquitz and San Marcos, which are phenotypically intermediate even though they date… read more here.
