Journal ArticleDOI
Increase in Tomato Locule Number Is Controlled by Two Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Located Near WUSCHEL
Stéphane Muños,Nicolas Ranc,Emmanuel Botton,Aurélie Bérard,Sophie Rolland,P. Duffe,Yolande Carretero,Marie-Christine Le Paslier,Corinne Delalande,Mondher Bouzayen,Dominique Brunel,Mathilde Causse +11 more
TL;DR: An evolutionary model of locule number is proposed herein, suggesting that the fas mutation appeared after the mutation in the lc locus to confer the extreme high-locule-number phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of genomic selection in European maize elite breeding populations
Yusheng Zhao,Manje Gowda,Wenxin Liu,Tobias Würschum,Hans Peter Maurer,Friedrich Longin,Nicolas Ranc,Jochen C. Reif +7 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of genomic selection realized for grain yield corresponds to the precision of phenotyping at unreplicated field trials in 3–4 locations and, consequently, genomic selection holds great promise for maize breeding programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraspecific variation of recombination rate in maize
Eva Bauer,Matthieu Falque,Hildrun Walter,Cyril Bauland,Christian Camisan,Laura Campo,Nina Meyer,Nicolas Ranc,Renaud Rincent,Wolfgang Schipprack,Thomas Altmann,Pascal Flament,Albrecht E. Melchinger,Monica A. Menz,Jesús Moreno-González,Milena Ouzunova,Pedro Revilla,Alain Charcosset,Olivier C. Martin,Chris-Carolin Schön +19 more
TL;DR: The present work provides the most comprehensive study on intraspecific variation of recombination rates and crossover interference strength in eukaryotes and should pave the way for precise identification of genes controlling recombinations rates in maize and other organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A clarified position for solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme in the evolutionary history of tomatoes (solanaceae)
TL;DR: The extent and structure of allelic variation is discussed in relation to historical events like domestication and modern selection and the potential use of the admixed group of S. lycopersicum var.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of Multiparental Populations of Maize (Zea mays L.) for Genome-Based Prediction
Christina Lehermeier,Nicole C. Krämer,Eva Bauer,Cyril Bauland,Christian Camisan,Laura Campo,Pascal Flament,Albrecht E. Melchinger,Monica A. Menz,Nina Meyer,Laurence Moreau,Jesús Moreno-González,Milena Ouzunova,Hubert Pausch,Nicolas Ranc,Wolfgang Schipprack,Manfred Schönleben,Hildrun Walter,Alain Charcosset,Chris-Carolin Schön +19 more
TL;DR: This work evaluated testcross performance of 1652 doubled-haploid maize lines that were genotyped with 56,110 single nucleotide polymorphism markers and phenotyped for five agronomic traits in four to six European environments and theoretically and empirically investigated marker linkage phases across multiparental populations.
