This study identifies cellular and genetic changes in maize and teosinte ears, showing how cytokinin signaling and transcription factor expression differences drive cob thickening and increased kernel number during domestication.

The paper characterizes genomic variation across 744 Zea genomes, identifies adaptive variants, and highlights their potential for breeding applications.

ZEAMAP integrates multi-omics data for maize and teosinte to support genetic research and trait improvement.

The paper identifies ZmCOL3 as a flowering time repressor in maize that delays flowering by transactivating ZmCCT or interfering with the circadian clock, contributing to adaptation from tropical to temperate regions.

This study identifies ePAVs in maize using RNA-seq data and links them to agronomic and metabolic traits, revealing novel sequences absent in the reference genome.
