Abstract: Maize was domesticated 7,500 years ago from the wild Mexican grass teosinte. Early farmers would have selected for certain characteristics, and for many years the genes that encode these traits have been sought. New insights into these genes come from an analysis of genetic variation in one of them,teosinte branched1, and the results bear on the question of exactly how maize was domesticated.
