TL;DR: A simple additive model accurately predicts flowering time for maize, in contrast to the genetic architecture observed in the selfing plant species rice and Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Maize genetic diversity has been used to understand the molecular basis of phenotypic variation and to improve agricultural efficiency and sustainability and it is suggested that selection in inbred lines has been less efficient in these regions because of reduced recombination frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Genetic Variation in Lycopene Epsilon Cyclase Tapped for Maize Biofortification
Carlos Harjes,Torbert Rocheford,Ling Bai,Thomas P. Brutnell,Catherine B. Kandianis,Stephen G. Sowinski,Ann E. Stapleton,Ratnakar Vallabhaneni,Mark Williams,Eleanore T. Wurtzel,Jianbing Yan,Edward S. Buckler,Edward S. Buckler +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that variation at the lycopene epsilon cyclase (lcyE) locus alters flux down α-carotene versus β-Carotene branches of the carotenoid pathway, which will enable developing-country breeders to more effectively produce maize grain with higher provitamin A levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rare genetic variation at Zea mays crtRB1 increases β-carotene in maize grain
Jianbing Yan,Catherine B. Kandianis,Carlos Harjes,Ling Bai,Eun Ha Kim,Xiaohong Yang,Debra J. Skinner,Zhiyuan Fu,Sharon E. Mitchell,Qing Li,Maria G. Salas Fernandez,Maria Zaharieva,Raman Babu,Yang Fu,Natalia Palacios,Jiansheng Li,Dean DellaPenna,Thomas P. Brutnell,Edward S. Buckler,Marilyn L. Warburton,Torbert Rocheford +20 more
TL;DR: Experimental evidence from association and linkage populations in maize demonstrate that the gene encoding β-carotene hydroxylase 1 (crtRB1) underlies a principal quantitative trait locus associated with β- carotene concentration and conversion in maize kernels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative trait loci for hip dysplasia in a crossbreed canine pedigree
Rory J. Todhunter,Raluca G. Mateescu,George Lust,Nancy Burton-Wurster,Nathan L. Dykes,Stuart P. Bliss,Alma J. Williams,Margaret Vernier-Singer,Elizabeth Corey,Carlos Harjes,R.L. Quaas,Zhiwu Zhang,Robert O. Gilbert,Dietrich Volkman,George Casella,Rongling Wu,Gregory M. Acland +16 more
TL;DR: Successful detection of QTL was due to the crossbreed pedigree, multiple-trait measurements, control of environmental background, and marked advancement in canine mapping tools.
