The origins of maize were the topic vigorous debate for nearly a century, but neither current genetic model nor earlier archaeological models account totality available data, and recent work has highlighted potential contribution wild relative, Zea mays ssp. mexicana . Our population analysis reveals that origin modern can be traced to an admixture between ancient in highlands Mexico some 4000 years after domestication began. We show variation is key component diversity, both at individual...
Abstract Unilateral cross incompatibility (UCI) occurs between popcorn and dent corn, represents a critical step towards speciation. It has been reported that ZmGa1P , encoding pectin methylesterase ( PME ), is male determinant of the Ga1 locus. However, female genetic relationship determinants at this locus are unclear. Here, we report three different types, total seven linked genes underlying locus, which control UCI phenotype by independently affecting pollen tube growth in both...
