Figure 4: Genetic mapping accuracy of uniquely aligned B73 tags (UABTs) in 4.4-M mapped tags. Figure 5: Identification of PAVs from the 4.4-M mapped tags. To initiate construction of the maize pan ...

The answer might be exotic. A multi-institutional team led by University of Delaware plant geneticist Randy Wisser decoded the genetic map for how maize from tropical environments can be adapted ...

The haplotype map "will help develop molecular markers ... However, because large regions of the maize chromosome are less accessible, breeders cannot arrive at optimal genetic combinations.

In a massive survey of genetic diversity in maize, also known as corn, researchers across the United States, have developed a gene map that should pave the way to significant improvements in a plant ...

Two new studies describe the construction and potential applications of a new resource for mapping quantitative traits in maize, illustrating that it can be used for dissecting the genetic ...

So, what can we do about it? The answer might be exotic. A multi-institutional team led by University of Delaware plant geneticist Randy Wisser decoded the genetic map for how maize from tropical ...

She pointed out that Kistler’s genetic map bore remarkable similarity to the distribution of an Amazonian word for maize. Later, Jonas Gregorio de Souza and Eduardo Ribeiro, researchers at the ...

Multi-parental populations (MPPs) have been proposed as outstanding genetic resources for mapping QTL in crops ... Here we show the application of Allegro genotyping on a panel of MAGIC maize RILs ...

The main disadvantage to growing hybrid maize was that uniform appearance came with a dangerous genetic uniformity. The more effort farmers put into making sure the plants all looked the same ...

They used quantitative trait loci mapping to identify regions of the maize chromosome that influence production of the provitamin A. They also used association mapping, which involves studying ...
