Posters

Unique and educational coverage of specific life science topics.

In this special poster, presented in conjunction with the first publication of the full maize genome sequence, we trace the history of modern maize from its beginnings as a wild grass called teosinte, to what is today one of the most productive and widespread crops in the world.

Interest in the genetics of maize began in the early 1900s when geneticists began to document the many varieties and explore the implications of genetic crosses. Understanding the maize genome will enable geneticists to develop new and improved maize varieties that are more nutritious or can withstand harsher environments.
