A pan-Zea genome map for enhancing maize improvement

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is at the vanguard facing the upcoming breeding challenges. However, both a super pan-genome for the Zea genus and a comprehensive genetic variation map for maize breeding are still lacking. Results Here, we construct an approximately 6.71-Gb pan-Zea genome th...
