This study investigates the role of maize inversion Inv4m in adaptation to phosphorus-deficient soils and finds that phosphorus deficiency does not drive its adaptive value.

This paper identifies the chromosomal inversion Inv4m in teosinte mexicana and shows it affects maize flowering time, plant height, and gene networks through JMJ histone demethylases.

This study evaluates the use of environmental and genomic data to identify climate-adaptive maize varieties, finding that genomic data better predict yield traits than environmental data alone.
