Extensive genetic diversity and low linkage disequilibrium within the COMT locus in maize exotic populations.

Plant science : an international journal of experimental plant biology - 1 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

The caffeic acid 3-O-methytransferase (COMT) gene is a prime candidate for cell wall digestibility improvement based on the characterization of brown midrib-3 mutants. We compared the genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium at this locus between exotic populations sampled within the Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM) project and 70 inbred lines. In total, we investigated 55 exotic COMT alleles and...
