The genetic architecture of the maize progenitor, teosinte, and how it was altered during maize domestication
PLOS GENETICS, 16(5).
Contributors: Q. Chen *, L. Samayoa n, C. Yang *, P. Bradbury *, B. Olukolu*, M. Neumeyer*, M. Romay *, Q. Sun *
MeSH headings : Domestication; Gene Flow; Gene Frequency; Genes, Plant; Genetic Variation; Genetics, Population; Quantitative Trait Loci; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Selection, Genetic; Zea mays / classification; Zea mays / genetics
TL;DR:
A strongly reduced number of QTL for domestication traits in maize relative to teosinte is observed, consistent with the previously reported depletion of additive variance by selection during domestication, and genomic regions of high recombination explain a disproportionately large proportion of heritable variance both before and after domestication.
