This is a barrier to maize diversification and improvement in regions where a large share of the world's corn production takes place. For investigating early flowering time adaptation, a tightly controlled parallel selection experiment spanning a 28° latitudinal range (∼3,100 km) across the United States was conducted. First, a tropical synthetic population (TropicS‐G0) (Reg. no. GP‐605, PI 698625) of maize was created from seven inbred parents. The molecular genetic diversity in TropicS‐G0 is representative of tropical inbreds that are differentiated from the prevailing germplasm used for hybrid production in the United States. Admixture analysis and genome simulation showed that breeding of TropicS‐G0 captured the parental genomes mostly at random, as intended prior to selection. With TropicS‐G0 as a common base population, a standardized protocol was used to recurrently select for early flowering time at eight locations for two generations, giving rise to location‐specific lineages (TropicS‐G1‐PR, Reg. no.

Breeding and selection occurred under biodynamic conditions in Wisconsin, on an organic winter nursery in Puerto Rico, a biodynamic winter nursery in Hawaii, and a conventional winter nursery in Chile. Emphasis is on improving protein quality, carotenoid content, competitiveness with weeds, nitrogen (N) efficiency/N2 fixation, and cross incompatibility to pollen from genetically engineered (GE) maize. Philosophy is that the plant species is a responding partner in the breeding process. Adaptation and selection emphasizes vigor and yield under N limited conditions. The Ga1 and Tcb1 alleles were utilized to induce cross incompatibility. The program resulted in inbreds and hybrids with increased N efficiency and protein quality coupled with softer grain texture, more chlorophyll in foliage, and densely branched root growth in the topsoil relative to conventionally bred cultivars under N limited conditions. Grain protein quality was improved by utilizing opaque kernels that emerged in populations during the course of the program in surprisingly high frequencies. N efficiency was accentuated by breeding with landraces that may fix N2 with microbes coupled with selection for response traits under N-limited conditions. When grown next to conventional hybrids, the best hybrids from this program have exhibited 30% more methionine and 16% more protein in grain and more protein/ha.}, number={1}, journal={OPEN AGRICULTURE}, author={Goldstein, W. and Jaradat, A.

Current gametophytic systems rely entirely on the strong allele of Gametophyte Factor 1 (Ga1‐s) to impart the selective barrier needed in these hybrids. This allele, however, is naturally overcome by another allele at the same locus (Ga1‐m), which is only detectable by specific evaluation, allowing it to go undetected in breeding lines, thus creating a scenario with substantial risk to Ga1‐s hybrids. Other gametophytic systems exist but have parallel allelic structure with possibly parallel risks, especially from m‐type alleles. By screening a set of maize genetic resources, we assessed the risk posed by the Ga1‐m allele. We identified the allele in several populations readily useful for expanding the genetic base of commercial maize, including several Germplasm Enhancement of Maize lines. To examine the possible distribution of m‐type alleles at other key gametophytic loci, we screened the maize nested association mapping population founder lines for the presence of m‐type gametophytic alleles, identifying 19 previously unreported m‐type gametophytic alleles in these lines. Our results also highlight the frequent concomitancy of gametophytic alleles at different loci, the full interactions of which are ignored by standard phenotyping methods that consider individual loci, confounding allele status determination. We provide a method for determining allele status at multiple gametophytic loci and highlight the implications of concomitant alleles, especially Ga1‐m and Tcb1‐m, on the possible deployment of new barrier systems.}, number={2}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={Jones, Zachary G. and Goodman, Major M.}, year={2018}, pages={719–727} } @article{lennon_krakowsky_goodman_flint‐garcia_balint‐kurti_2017, title={Identification of Teosinte Alleles for Resistance to Southern Leaf Blight in Near Isogenic Maize Lines}, volume={57}, ISSN={0011-183X 1435-0653}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.2135/cropsci2016.12.0979}, DOI={10.2135/cropsci2016.12.0979}, abstractNote={Southern leaf blight ([SLB], causal agent Cochliobolus heterostrophus) is an important fungal disease of maize (Zea mays L.).

The aims of this study were to identify teosinte alleles that, when present in a temperate maize background, confer a significant level of resistance to SLB. Ten populations of BC4S2 near isogenic lines (NILs), developed by crossing 10 different teosinte accessions to the maize inbred B73, comprising 774 lines in total, were screened for SLB resistance.

Maize germplasm released by NCSU represents a potentially useful resource for increasing maize diversity and performance in the United States. The objectives of this study were to characterize the genetic relationships among inbreds released from this unique breeding program and to compare them genetically with inbreds from other public and private breeding programs. The NCSU maize inbreds can be classified into five germplasm pools: Lancaster, Temperate‐adapted all tropical (TAAT), Lancaster × Tropical, Stiff Stalk, and Southern non‐Stiff Stalk; detailed analysis of pedigree records and molecular marker genotypes reveals additional substructure within each of these pools.

The Ga1‐m allele overcomes the pollen barrier imparted by Ga1‐s, opening any system using it to potential contamination. The Ga1‐m allele, although previously thought rare, has been shown to be abundant in Mexican commercial maize (Z. mays L.), and has been identified in a US ex‐Plant Variety Protection (PVP) line. The requirement for specific evaluation to detect the allele, coupled with efforts to increase the genetic base of maize, create a considerable risk of the unintentional release of Ga1‐m‐carrying materials. Resistance to Ga1‐m has been previously identified, providing a possible way to eliminate the risk posed by Ga1‐m but comes in an unadapted sweetcorn background. Through field evaluation, we tested commercial and publically available popcorn for resistance to Ga1‐m, all of which were uniformly susceptible. There is, therefore, a need to identify and integrate Ga1‐m resistance into commercial popcorn inbred lines and hybrids. Although the use of existing Ga1‐m resistant sources is an option, background differences will likely be problematic for producing useable inbred lines.

The Grand Challenges are: (i) Crop adaptation to climate change: Increase the speed with which agriculture can adapt to climate change by using crop science to address abiotic stresses such as drought and heat. (ii) Resistance to biotic stresses: Increase durability of resistance to biotic stresses that threaten yield and quality of major crops.

Genetic studies have provided firm evidence that maize was domesticated from Balsas teosinte ( Zea mays subspecies parviglumis ), a wild relative that is endemic to the mid- to lowland regions of southwestern Mexico. An interesting paradox remains, however: Maize cultivars that are most closely related to Balsas teosinte are found mainly in the Mexican highlands where subspecies parviglumis does not grow. Genetic data thus point to primary diffusion of domesticated maize from the highlands rather than from the region of initial domestication. Recent archeological evidence for early lowland cultivation has been consistent with the genetics of domestication, leaving the issue of the ancestral position of highland maize unresolved. We used a new SNP dataset scored in a large number of accessions of both teosinte and maize to take a second look at the geography of the earliest cultivated maize. We found that gene flow between maize and its wild relatives meaningfully impacts our inference of geographic origins. By analyzing differentiation from inferred ancestral gene frequencies, we obtained results that are fully consistent with current ecological, archeological, and genetic data concerning the geography of early maize cultivation. }, number={3}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, author={Heerwaarden, Joost and Doebley, John and Briggs, William H. and Glaubitz, Jeffrey C. and Goodman, Major M. and Sanchez Gonzalez, Jose de Jesus and Ross-Ibarra, Jeffrey}, year={2011}, month={Jan}, pages={1088–1092} } @article{mcmullen_kresovich_villeda_bradbury_li_sun_flint-garcia_thornsberry_acharya_bottoms_et al._2009, title={Genetic properties of the maize nested association mapping population}, volume={325}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-68449094455&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1126/science.1174320}, abstractNote={Codifying Maize Modifications Maize, one of our most important crop species, has been the target of genetic investigation and experimentation for more than 100 years.

We analyzed the population genetic structure of maize races by genotyping 964 individual plants, representing almost the entire set of ∼350 races native to the Americas, with 96 microsatellites. Using Bayesian clustering, we detected four main clusters consisting of highland Mexican, northern United States (US), tropical lowland, and Andean races. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the southwestern US was an intermediary stepping stone between Mexico and the northern US. Furthermore, southeastern US races appear to be of mixed northern flint and tropical lowland ancestry, while lowland middle South American races are of mixed Andean and tropical lowland ancestry. Several cases of post‐Columbian movement of races were detected, most notably from the US to South America. Of the four main clusters, the highest genetic diversity occurs in highland Mexican races, while diversity is lowest in the Andes and northern US. Isolation by distance appears to be the main factor underlying the historical diversification of maize.

Recombinant inbred (RI) lines were derived from a cross between NC300, a temperate-adapted all-tropical line, and B104, an Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic line. The RI lines were topcrossed to the tester FR615 x FR697. The 143 topcrosses were scored for Southern rust in four environments. Time to flowering was measured in two environments. The RI lines were genotyped at 113 simple sequence repeat markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL) were mapped for both traits.

A major QTL located on the short arm of chromosome 10, explained 83% of the phenotypic variation, with the NC300 allele carrying the resistance. Significant (P < 0.001), but relatively minor, topcross-by-environment interaction occurred for Southern rust, and resulted from the interaction of the major QTL with the environment.

GP-501–509, PI 639497–639505, see Table 1). The GEM project is a cooperative research effort to facilitate the introduction of exotic maize germplasm into U.S. breeding programs. It involves most U.S. maize breeding companies and many public cooperators (Pollak, 2003; Pollak and Salhuana, 2001; Goodman, 1999; Goodman and Carson, 2000; Goodman et al., 2000). Replicated breeding trials coordinated by North Carolina State University as part of the GEM project, and conducted by several public and private GEM cooperators, have identified nine superior F2S2 germplasm lines (S2 lines derived from an F2 population) containing 50% tropical germplasm by pedigree. When topcrossed to sister-line crosses or foundation-seed inbreds, these germplasm lines have yielded well in North Carolina and other southern corn growing regions of the USA in comparison to commercial check hybrids (i.e., their yields were either significantly higher or not statistically significantly different from the yields of the commercial check hybrids). They also performed at least as well as commercial check hybrids by several other criteria enumerated below. Table 1 shows the GEM names designated for these sources alongside their previous identifiers. The source of the tropical germplasm involved in these nine novel germplasm lines is the Brazilian population PE1 (also known as BR51403). PE1 is a composite of varieties from the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The U.S. parent of the germplasm was a privately owned inbred line of the nonstiff stalk heterotic group. These germplasm lines were developed by selfing and selecting within variable F1s from crosses between the tropicalsource (i.e., different individuals from the PE1 population) and the U.S. inbred, in North Carolina under standard nursery conditions. F2 seed were bulked and used for a second selfing/ selection season in Homestead, FL. Nine hundred ninety F3 progenies, each derived from the self of a different F2 plant, were tested for per-se yield in unreplicated yield trials at the Sandhills Research Station in North Carolina in 1996. The top 10% were selected for further selfing and topcrossing in a winter nursery at Homestead, FL. All procedures were performed using ear-to-row methods (i.e., each row was planted with seeds from a single ear), except that F2 seeds planted at Homestead were bulked by pedigree (i.e., all the F2 seed from each tropical source 3 U.S. inbred were bulked). Germplasm lines were visually selected on the basis of resistance to lodging, early flowering, synchrony of silk and pollen production, and reduced plant and ear height. Topcross seed for initial yield trials were produced using the sister line cross FR992 3 FR1064 (provided by Illinois Foundation Seeds) as tester. These seed were used for yield trials in 15 test locations from Delaware to Georgia and as far west as Missouri over 2 yr (1997 and 1998). These states were Delaware (1 location), Georgia (3 locations), Kentucky (2 locations), Maryland (1 location), Missouri (2 locations), North Carolina (4 locations), Tennessee (1 location), Texas (1 location). The released germplasm lines were among the top performers in these tests. The seed moisture of the sources being registered was not significantly higher or was lower than the commercial hybrid check means in all cases and lodging was acceptable as well. These data are detailed in Table 1. Additional yield experiments were conducted with GEMS-0042, GEMS-0033, and GEMS-0037, top crossed to the stiff-stalk testers LH200 and LH244 and tested at several locations throughout the southern Corn Belt in 2001 and 2002. In these experiments the germplasm lines produced superior yields to elite hybrid checks, yielding between 9500 and 9800 kg ha compared with a hybrid check mean of 9390 kg ha21 (The checks in this case were Dekalb brand 687; Pioneer brands 30F33, 32K61, and 3165; NC320 3 T7; LH132 3 LH51 and LH200 3 LH262). In yield trials conducted in the mid-western Corn Belt (Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois) using LH200 and LH198 as testers, the yields of all of these germplasm lines were inferior to the hybrid check means. GEMS-0035 (8786 kg ha), GEMS-0039 (8704 kg ha), and GEMS-0042 (8604 kg ha) yielded best in top crosses with LH200, compared to the hybrid check mean of 9765 kg ha. (The checks in this case were Pioneer brands 31G98, 34B23, 33P66; LH198 3 LH185 and LH200 3 LH262).

An association population of 302 lines is now available – a valuable research tool that captures a large proportion of the alleles in cultivated maize. Provided that appropriate statistical models correcting for population structure are included, this tool can be used in association analyses to provide high‐resolution evaluation of multiple alleles. This study describes the population structure of the 302 lines, and investigates the relationship between population structure and various measures of phenotypic and breeding value. On average, our estimates of population structure account for 9.3% of phenotypic variation, roughly equivalent to a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), with a high of 35%. Inclusion of population structure in association models is critical to meaningful analyses.

Tropical maize represents the most diverse source of germplasm. To incorporate germplasm from tropical maize landraces into the temperate gene pool, 23 Latin American maize accessions were crossed to temperate inbred line Mo44. During inbred line development, selection was practiced in temperate environments, potentially resulting in the loss of substantial proportions of tropical alleles. Genotyping 161 semiexotic inbreds at 51 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci permitted the classification of their alleles as either Mo44 or tropical and allowed estimation of the proportion of detectable tropical alleles retained in these lines. On average, the percentage of detectable tropical alleles ranged among lines from 15% to 56%, with a mean of 31%. These are conservative, lower-bound estimates of the proportion of tropical germplasm within lines, because it is not known how frequently Mo44 and the tropical maize accession parental populations shared SSR alleles. These results suggest that substantial proportions of exotic germplasm were recovered in the semiexotic lines, despite their selection in temperate environments. The percent of tropical germplasm in semiexotic lines was not correlated to grain yield or moisture of lines testcrossed to a Corn Belt Dent tester, indicating that the incorporation of a substantial percentage of tropical germplasm in an inbred line does not necessarily negatively impact its combining ability. Thus, tropical maize accessions represent a good source of exotic germplasm to broaden the genetic base of temperate maize without hindering agronomic performance.}, number={3}, journal={THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS}, author={Tarter, JA and Goodman, MM and Holland, JB}, year={2004}, month={Aug}, pages={609–617} } @article{liu_goodman_muse_smith_buckler_doebley_2003, title={Genetic structure and diversity among maize inbred lines as inferred from DNA microsatellites}, volume={165}, number={4}, journal={Genetics}, author={Liu, K.

Crosses were made between a temperate line, NC262A, and each of eight different lines consisting of 100% temperate-adapted tropical germplasm. Pedigree selection was used to generate a set of 148 F(5)S(2) lines that were evaluated in testcrosses with FR992/FR1064 in nine North Carolina environments. Several entries had grain yield, grain moisture content and standability that were comparable to three commercial checks. The best testcrosses outyielded the cross NC262A x FR992/FR1064 by 9.5 to 10.9%, suggesting that a significant amount of tropical germplasm was retained in these lines and that this germplasm combined well with the Stiff Stalk tester. Previous researchers had suggested that tropical alleles could be rapidly lost during inbreeding in populations derived from tropical x temperate bi-parental crosses, leading to the development of lines that possess significantly less than 50% tropical germplasm. F(5)S(5) sub-lines corresponding to the 14 best testcrosses were genotyped at 47 to 49 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci across all ten chromosomes to estimate the amount of tropical germplasm that was retained.

A second objective was to determine if first‐generation semiexotic lines could produce hybrids with agronomic performance comparable to commercial U.S. hybrids. One hundred sixty‐four semiexotic inbred lines were developed from crosses between temperate‐adapted inbred line Mo44 and 23 Latin American maize accessions. Mo44 and each semiexotic line were testcrossed to temperate hybrid LH132 × LH51 for evaluations. In first‐stage replicated yield trials, testcrosses of 18 semiexotic lines, representing six different races, had significantly greater grain yields than the Mo44 testcross. Advanced yield evaluations were performed on check entries and 33 selected semiexotic line testcrosses in three additional environments. Across 10 environments, 12 semiexotic line testcrosses exhibited significantly greater grain yield than the Mo44 testcross, indicating recovery of favorable exotic alleles. Semiexotic testcrosses were not competitive with commercial hybrids for grain yield but were similar to or better than commercial hybrids for grain moisture and lodging resistance. Many superior accessions represent relatively recent introductions into regions from which they were collected.

Instead, our results indicate that all maize arose from a single domestication in southern Mexico about 9,000 years ago. Our analyses also indicate that the oldest surviving maize types are those of the Mexican highlands with maize spreading from this region over the Americas along two major paths. Our phylogenetic work is consistent with a model based on the archaeological record suggesting that maize diversified in the highlands of Mexico before spreading to the lowlands.

Although null phenotypes and amplification of more than two alleles per plant were observed at modest rates, no practical obstacle was encountered for applying maize microsatellites to other Zea species. Sequencing of microsatellite alleles revealed complex patterns of mutation including frequent indels in the regions flanking microsatellite repeats. In one case, all variation at a microsatellite locus came from indels in the flanking region rather than in the repeat motif. Maize microsatellites show great variability within populations and provide a reliable means to measure intraspecific variation. Phylogeographic relationships of Zea populations were successfully reconstructed with good resolution using a genetic distance based on the infinite allele model, indicating that microsatellite loci are useful in evolutionary studies in Zea.

One problem faced by maize breeders attempting to breed for resistance to gray leaf spot is the high degree of genotype-environment interactions observed in disease trials. In North Carolina gray leaf spot trials conducted at four locations in the western part of the state, we found consistent hybrid-location interactions over the 1995 and 1996 growing seasons. Isolates of C. zeae-maydis from those test locations were evaluated on the same hybrids used in the multilocation testing at a location in central North Carolina that does not have a history of gray leaf spot. The hybrid-isolate interactions observed in the isolate trial mirrored the hybrid-location effects seen in the multilocation testing. Most of the interactions arose from changes in the magnitude of differences between hybrids when inoculated with the isolates rather than from any change in hybrid ranking. Analysis of internal transcribed spacer-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and mitochondrial rDNA RFLPs of those isolates and others revealed that both type I and type II sibling species of C. zeae-maydis, as well as C. sorghi var. maydis, are isolated from typical gray leaf spot lesions. Breeders should use the most aggressive isolates of C. zeae-maydis to maximize discrimination between genotypes in gray leaf spot trials. }, number={10}, journal={PLANT DISEASE}, author={Carson, ML and Goodman, MM and Williamson, SM}, year={2002}, month={Oct}, pages={1089–1093} } @article{thornsberry_goodman_doebley_kresovich_nielsen_buckler_2001, title={Dwarf8 polymorphisms associate with variation in flowering time}, volume={28}, ISSN={1061-4036 1546-1718}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/90135}, DOI={10.1038/90135}, abstractNote={Historically, association tests have been used extensively in medical genetics, but have had virtually no application in plant genetics.

We report patterns of local and genome-wide LD in 102 maize inbred lines representing much of the worldwide genetic diversity used in maize breeding, and address its implications for association studies in maize. In a survey of six genes, we found that intragenic LD generally declined rapidly with distance ( r 2 < 0.1 within 1500 bp), but rates of decline were highly variable among genes. This rapid decline probably reflects large effective population sizes in maize during its evolution and high levels of recombination within genes. A set of 47 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci showed stronger evidence of genome-wide LD than did single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes. LD was greatly reduced but not eliminated by grouping lines into three empirically determined subpopulations. SSR data also supplied evidence that divergent artificial selection on flowering time may have played a role in generating population structure. Provided the effects of population structure are effectively controlled, this research suggests that association studies show great promise for identifying the genetic basis of important traits in maize with very high resolution. }, number={20}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, author={Remington, DL and Thornsberry, JM and Matsuoka, Y and Wilson, LM and Whitt, SR and Doeblay, J and Kresovich, S and Goodman, MM and Buckler, ES}, year={2001}, month={Sep}, pages={11479–11484} } @article{eberhart_goodman_yeutter_senior_2000, title={Charles W.

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and isozymes can serve as genetic markers for estimating divergence or diversity; however, the limited number of polymorphic isozyme loci available and the labor intensive and time consuming nature of RFLPs make their use for this purpose prohibitive. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), when resolved using agarose gels, may be a viable and costeffective alternative to RFLPs and isozymes. Ninety‐four elite maize inbred lines, representative of the genetic diversity among lines derived from the Corn Belt Dent and Southern Dent maize races, were assayed for polymorphism at 70 SSR marker loci using agarose gels. The 365 alleles identified served as raw data for estimating genetic similarities among these lines. The patterns of genetic divergence revealed by the SSR polymorphisms were consistent with known pedigrees. A cluster analysis placed the inbred lines in nine clusters that correspond to major heterotic groups or market classes for North American maize. A unique fingerprint for each inbred line could be obtained from as few as five SSR loci.
