The pattern and distribution of deleterious mutations in maize
Sofiane Mezmouk, Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra
Most non-synonymous mutations are thought to be deleterious because of their effect on protein sequence. These polymorphisms are expected to be removed or kept at low frequency by…
Comprehensive analysis of imprinted genes in maize reveals limited conservation with other species and allelic variation for imprinting
Amanda J. Waters, Paul Bilinski, Steve R. Eichten +4
In plants, a subset of genes exhibit imprinting in endosperm tissue such that expression is primarily from the maternal or paternal allele. Imprinting may arise as a consequence of…
The genomic impacts of drift and selection for hybrid performance in maize
Justin P. Gerke, Jode W. Edwards, Katherine E. Guill +2
Modern maize breeding relies upon selection in inbreeding populations to improve the performance of cross-population hybrids. The United States Department of Agriculture - Agricult…
From Many, One: Genetic Control of Prolificacy during Maize Domestication
David M. Wills, Clinton Whipple, Shohei Takuno +4
A reduction in number and an increase in size of inflorescences is a common aspect of plant domestication. When maize was domesticated from teosinte, the number and arrangement of…
Diversity and abundance of the Abnormal chromosome 10 meiotic drive complex in Zea mays
Lisa B. Kanizay, Tanja Pyhäjärvi, Elizabeth G. Lowry +4
Maize Abnormal chromosome 10 (Ab10) contains a classic meiotic drive system that exploits asymmetry of meiosis to preferentially transmit itself and other chromosomes containing sp…
Comparative Analysis of Tandem Repeats from Hundreds of Species Reveals Unique Insights into Centromere Evolution
Daniël P. Melters, Keith R. Bradnam, Hugh A. Young +14
Centromeres are essential for chromosome segregation, yet their DNA sequences evolve rapidly. In most animals and plants that have been studied, centromeres contain megabase-scale…
