Abstract:
... MAIN CONCLUSION: With domestication, northward spread, and breeding, maize defence against root-herbivores relied on induced defences, decreasing levels of phytohormones involved in resistance, and increasing levels of a phytohormone involved in tolerance. We addressed whether a suite of maize (Zea mays mays) phytohormones and metabolites involved in herbivore defence were mediated by three succes ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Armyworm (Mythimna separata) is a destructive herbivore for maize. Balsas teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis), the direct wild ancestor of cultivated maize, has shown great potential to defend against herbivory. Here, based on armyworm bioassay, we compared responses of teosinte and B73 maize inbred during armyworm attack in their transcriptome profiles to elucidate the gene expressio ...

Abstract:
... Maize was domesticated from Balsas teosinte c. 10 000 yr ago. Previous studies have suggested that increased tolerance to environmental stress occurred during maize domestication. However, the underlying genetic basis remains largely unknown. We used a maize (W22)–teosinte recombinant inbred line (RIL) to investigate the salt wild‐type tolerance aspects of maize domestication. We revealed that ZmH ...

Abstract:
... Living representatives of the wild progenitors of domesticated species constitute a significant basis for morphological and genetic study of once ancestral plants and their early domesticated forms. However, plants, in part through phenotypic (developmental) plasticity, are well-known to directly respond to environmental changes creating phenotypic variability and new morphologies. Therefore, how ...

Abstract:
... The corn leafhopper [Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott)] is a specialist on Zea (Poaceae) that coevolved with maize (Zea mays mays) and its teosinte (Zea spp.) relatives. This study tested the hypothesis that host acceptance by females varies among Zea hosts, and is correlated with variation in defensive levels across those hosts. Prior studies revealed differences in plant defenses among Zea host ...

Abstract:
... We addressed whether Zea seedling morphology relevant to performance, defence hormone profiles and tolerance of a phloem‐feeding, specialist herbivore were affected by two processes, plant domestication and modern breeding. Domestication effects were inferred through comparisons between Balsas teosintes (Zea mays parviglumis) and landrace maizes (Z. mays mays), and modern breeding effects through ...

Abstract:
... Invertebrate herbivores prefer younger over older plant stages. Therefore, defensive traits against herbivores during early plant ontogeny are important. Defensive chemical and physical traits are well-studied in domesticated plants, but not in their wild relatives. Little is known about the function of trichomes, a physical defense against herbivore arthropods that damage cultivated plants and th ...

Abstract:
... Teosinte (Zea mays subsp. parviglumis H. H. Iltis & Doebley) has greater genetic diversity than maize inbreds and landraces (Z. mays subsp. mays). There are, however, limited genetic resources to efficiently evaluate and tap this diversity. To broaden resources for genetic diversity studies in maize, we developed and evaluated 928 near‐isogenic introgression lines (NILs) from 10 teosinte accession ...

Abstract:
... Seed traits have been targeted by human selection during the domestication of crop species as a way to increase caloric and nutritional content of food during the transition from hunter-gather to early farming societies. The primary seed trait under selection was likely seed size/weight as it is most directly related to overall grain yield. Additional seed traits involved in seed shape may have al ...

Abstract:
... Little is known about insect pest ontogeny, with respect to fecundity, on domesticated plants and their wild relatives, and the effect of fecundity on parasitoids.

Abstract:
... Consistent with an increasing number of comparisons between crop plants and their wild ancestors, a previous study showed that in the field, maize [Zea mays ssp. mays L.

Abstract:
... Plant defenses against herbivores are predicted to change as plant lineages diversify, and with domestication and subsequent selection and breeding in the case of crop plants.

For this, we assessed performance of corn leafh ...

A population of teosinte near isogenic lines (teosinte NILs) was previously developed to broaden the resources for genetic diversity of mai ...

Maize domestication is one of the greatest feats of artificial selection and evolution, wherein a weedy plant in Central Mexico was converted through human-mediated selection into the most productive crop in the world. In fact, the changes were so astounding that it took much of the last century to identify modern maize's true ancestor. Through modern genetic studies, the molecular basis of this e ...

These features, each with a possible role in development, include (1) an early programmed cell deat ...
