Differentiation of the maize subgenomes by genome dominance and both ancient and ongoing gene loss (2011, methodology): “Both grass species are members of the tribe Andropogoneae, and the genomes of both species have been sequenced (3, 14).”
Candidate Genes and Political Behavior (2012, background): “The discovery that the human genome contains ∼25-30,000 genes, as compared to more than 32,000 genes in maize (Schnable et al. 2009), necessitated a rethinking of the assumption that for every protein there is a specific gene and that each gene contains the instructions for making just one protein,…”
Whole-genome survey and characterization of MADS-box gene family in maize and sorghum (2011, background): “Interestingly, no FLC homologs were found in the maize or sorghum genomes, such genes have been confirmed to play a major role in controlling flowering time by vernalization and autonomous pathways (Scortecci et al. 2001).”
The Parasitic Plant Genome Project: New Tools for Understanding the Biology of Orobanche and Striga (2012, background): “Host species used were maize and sorghum, both of which have sequenced nuclear genomes (Paterson et al. 2009; Schnable et al. 2009).”

Switchgrass Genomic Diversity, Ploidy, and Evolution: Novel Insights from a Network-Based SNP Discovery Protocol (2013, background): “Maize is a large and complex genome, which experienced multiple genome duplication events [41,42], has a large amount of repetitive sequence, numerous PAVs [23,43,44], with only about 50% overlap in sequence content between any two unrelated inbred lines [45,46].”
