Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the founder crops that likely drove the Neolithic transition to
sedentary agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Identifying …

Current corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids are produced using proprietary inbred lines as parents.
These proprietary lines are protected by US Patent and/or the US Plant Variety Protection Act …

In addition to single-nucleotide polymorphisms, structural variation is abundant in many
plant genomes. The structural variation across a species can be represented by a ‘pan-genome’, …

Intense artificial selection over the last 100 years has produced elite maize (Zea mays) inbred
lines that combine to produce high-yielding hybrids. To further our understanding of how …

Germplasm of contemporary US dent corn (Zea mays L.) is predominately from proprietary
programs. Although publicly developed inbred lines contributed to the genetic foundation of …

From 1970 to 2008 there were 2242 soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars registered in
North America through US Plant Variety Protection (PVP), US utility patent, and journal …

Publicly available maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines with expired Plant Variety Protection
certificates (ex‐PVP) constitute the elite germplasm used in hybrids grown by North American …

Coefficient of parentage (CP) is useful to estimate genetic diversity (1 − CP) among a set of
lines. Estimated diversity among 846 proprietary inbred corn (Zea mays L.) lines registered in …

A low‐diversity microbial community, dominated by the γ ‐proteobacterium H alomonas
sulfidaeris, was detected in samples of warm saline formation porewater collected from the C …

Use of a single reference genome for genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) limits the
gene space represented to that of a single accession. This limitation can complicate …
