Ortiz D, Lawson T, Jarrett R, Ring A, Scoles K, Hoverman L, et al.
Poult Sci . 2021 Jun; 100(7):101117. PMID: 34102484
Plant breeding has developed corn genotypes with grain higher in levels of carotenoids. Dietary consumption of specific carotenoids by humans has been associated with improved eye health, notably with some...

Jarquin D, de Leon N, Romay C, Bohn M, Buckler E, Ciampitti I, et al.
Front Genet . 2021 Mar; 11:592769. PMID: 33763106
Genomic prediction provides an efficient alternative to conventional phenotypic selection for developing improved cultivars with desirable characteristics. New and improved methods to genomic prediction are continually being developed that attempt...

Diepenbrock C, Ilut D, Magallanes-Lundback M, Kandianis C, Lipka A, Bradbury P, et al.
Plant Cell . 2021 Mar; 33(4):882-900. PMID: 33681994
Vitamin A deficiency remains prevalent in parts of Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa where maize (Zea mays) is a food staple. Extensive natural variation exists for carotenoids in maize...

Wu D, Tanaka R, Li X, Ramstein G, Cu S, Hamilton J, et al.
G3 (Bethesda) . 2021 Mar; 11(4). PMID: 33677522
Despite its importance to plant function and human health, the genetics underpinning element levels in maize grain remain largely unknown. Through a genome-wide association study in the maize Ames panel...

Rogers A, Dunne J, Romay C, Bohn M, Buckler E, Ciampitti I, et al.
G3 (Bethesda) . 2021 Feb; 11(2). PMID: 33585867
High-dimensional and high-throughput genomic, field performance, and environmental data are becoming increasingly available to crop breeding programs, and their integration can facilitate genomic prediction within and across environments and provide...

McFarland B, AlKhalifah N, Bohn M, Bubert J, Buckler E, Ciampitti I, et al.
BMC Res Notes . 2020 Feb; 13(1):71. PMID: 32051026
Objectives: Advanced tools and resources are needed to efficiently and sustainably produce food for an increasing world population in the context of variable environmental conditions. The maize genomes to fields...

Sowa M, Yu J, Palacios-Rojas N, Goltz S, Howe J, Davis C, et al.
ACS Omega . 2019 Aug; 2(10):7320-7328. PMID: 31457305
Biofortification of crops to enhance provitamin A carotenoids is a strategy to increase the intake where vitamin A deficiency presents a widespread problem. Heat, light, and oxygen cause isomerization and...

Owens B, Mathew D, Diepenbrock C, Tiede T, Wu D, Mateos-Hernandez M, et al.
G3 (Bethesda) . 2019 Apr; 9(6):1945-1955. PMID: 31010822
Rapid development and adoption of biofortified, provitamin A-dense orange maize ( L.) varieties could be facilitated by a greater understanding of the natural variation underlying kernel color, including as it...

AlKhalifah N, Campbell D, Falcon C, Gardiner J, Miller N, Romay M, et al.
BMC Res Notes . 2018 Jul; 11(1):452. PMID: 29986751
Objectives: Crop improvement relies on analysis of phenotypic, genotypic, and environmental data. Given large, well-integrated, multi-year datasets, diverse queries can be made: Which lines perform best in hot, dry environments?...
