Article Synopsis
- Maize was originally domesticated from lowland teosinte, but the role of highland teosinte (mexicana) in modern maize is still being explored.
- Two genomes for a modern maize variety (Mo17) and mexicana were sequenced, revealing significant genetic diversity and structural changes.
- The study indicates that over 10% of the maize genome shows evidence of genetic mixing with mexicana, highlighting its contribution to maize adaptation and enhancement.
We isolated Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) strain 1A00316 from Antarctica. This bacterium has a high efficiency against Meloidogyne incognita (M.

Here, we used a computational method to predict the functions of lincRNAs in Pi-starved rice. Overall, 3,170 lincRNA loci were identified using RNA sequencing data from the roots and shoots of control and Pi-starved rice.
