Phylogenomic analysis of the plastid genome of the Peruvian purple maize zea mays subsp. mays cv. 'INIA 601' by Montenegro, Juan D., Julca, Irene, Chumbe-Nolasco, Lenin D., Rodríguez-Pérez, Lila M., Panizo, Ricardo Sevilla, Medina-Hoyos, Alicia, Gutiérrez-Reynoso, Dina L., Guerrero-Abad, Juan Carlos, Guerra, Carlos A. Amasifuen, García-Serquén, Aura L.

“…To study the origin of the Peruvian purple maize, we assembled the plastid genomes of the new cultivar 'INIA 601' with a high concentration of anthocyanins, comparing them with 27 cultivars/landraces of South America, 9 Z. mays subsp. parviglumis, and 5 partial genomes of Z. mays subsp. mexicana. Using these genomes, plus four other maize genomes and two outgroups from the NCBI database, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationship of Z. mays. …”
