Maize (Zea mays L. ssp. mays) was domesticated from one wild species ancestor, the Balsas teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis) about 9000 years ago. Higher levels of gene diversity are found in teosinte taxa compared to maize, following domestication and selection bottlenecks. Diversity in maize ...

Gene flow among different teosinte taxa and into the domesticated maize gene pool
Using interspecific crosses involving Oryza glaberrima Steud. as donor and O. sativa L. as recurrent parents, rice breeders at the Africa Rice Center developed several 'New Rice for Africa (NERICA)' improved varieties. A smaller number of interspecific and intraspecific varieties have also been r...

Assessment of Genetic Variation and Population Structure of Diverse Rice Genotypes Adapted to Lowland and Upland Ecologies in Africa Using SNPs
Efforts to identify maize germplasm with resistance to
Aspergillus flavus
infection and subsequent accumulation
of aflatoxins were initiated by the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service at several locations
in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Research units at four locati...

Identifying and developing maize germplasm with resistance to accumulation of aflatoxins
Aflatoxin accumulation in maize (Zea mays L.) kernels is a serious economic and health problem that reduces grain quality and nutritional values and causes death to livestock and humans. Understanding the genetic parameters and heterotic responses of exotic maize inbred lines can facilitate their...
