This study demonstrates local adaptation of maize landraces through reciprocal transplantation experiments, showing higher fitness at native elevations and phenotypic differences between Mexican and South American populations.

The paper identifies genomic regions linked to yield and morphological traits in a maize mapping population, revealing local adaptation in highland environments.

This study identifies an introgression from teosinte mexicana that affects HPC1, modulating phosphatidylcholine levels and influencing maize flowering time under low-temperature conditions.

The paper identifies regulatory variation in stress-related genes in Mexican highland maize using allele-specific expression analysis under benign conditions.
