The great adaptability and high yields available for maize as a food, feed and forage crop have led to its current production on over 140 million hectares worldwide, with acreage continuing to grow at the expense of other crops. In terms of tons of cereal grain produced worldwide, maize has been number one for many years. Moreover, maize is expanding its contribution to non-food uses, including as a major source of ethanol as a fuel additive or fuel alternative in the US. In addition, maize has been at the center of the transgenic plant controversy, serving as the first food crop with released transgenic varieties. By 2008, maize will have its genome sequence released, providing the sequence of the first average-size plant genome (the four plant genomes that are now sequenced come from unusually tiny genomes) and of the most complex genome sequenced from any organism. ..Beyond its major agricultural and economic contributions, maize has been a model species for genetics since it was the first plant to have a genetic map, initially published by Emerson and colleagues in 1 | | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | | 关键词 | Evolution; Heterosis; Mutant; Seed; currentjks; maize; plant biology; plant genetics; plant genomics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-79418-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-2722-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-79418-1 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2009 |
