Genetic analysis of the morphological differences between maize and teosinte.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1991

Doebley J, Stec A

Abstract excerpt

Molecular marker loci were used to investigate the inheritance of morphological traits that distinguish maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) from a closely related wild relative, teosinte (Z. mays ssp. mexicana). Regression and interval mapping analyses gave largely congruent results concerning the numbers...
