Differentiated transcriptional signatures in the maize landraces of Chiapas, Mexico.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Landrace farmers are the keepers of crops locally adapted to the environments where they are cultivated. Patterns of diversity across the genome can provide signals of past evolution in the face of abiotic and biotic change. Understanding this rich genetic resource is imperative especially since diversity can provide agricultural security as climate continues to shift. RESULTS: Here we employ RNA...
