The genetic architecture of the maize progenitor, teosinte, and how it was altered during maize domestication.

The genetics of domestication has been extensively studied ever since the rediscovery of Mendel's law of inheritance and much has been learned about the genetic control of trait differences between crops and their ancestors. Here, we ask how domestication has altered genetic architecture by com...
