Identifying genes of agronomic importance in maize by screening microsatellites for evidence of selection during domestication

Crop species experienced strong selective pressure directed at genes controlling traits of agronomic importance during their domestication and subsequent episodes of selective breeding. Consequently, these genes are expected to exhibit the signature of selection. We screened 501 maize genes for the...
