MADS-box genes of maize: frequent targets of selection during domestication.

Genetics research - 1 Feb 2011

Zhao Qiong, Weber Allison L, McMullen Michael D, Guill Katherine, Doebley John

Abstract excerpt

MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that are key regulators of plant inflorescence and flower development. We examined DNA sequence variation in 32 maize MADS-box genes and 32 randomly chosen maize loci and investigated their involvement in maize domestication and improvement. Using neutrality tests and a test based on coalescent simulation of a bottleneck model, we identified eight MADS-box genes as...
