The evolution of apical dominance in maize (Zea mays)
The maize crops that are cultivated today are probably a domesticated form of the wild Mexican grass teosinte. (a) The bushy form of the teosinte, Zea mays ssp. mexicana; (b) the single-stalk branching pattern of wild-type maize (Inbred A158); (c) a maize plant that is mutant for the teosinte branched 1 (tb1) gene. The tb1 locus is likely to have had an important role in the evolution of maize plant architecture.

How would you build a "better" tomato? Most likely, you'd select for genes in multiple locations—or quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Knowledge of QTLs is extremely valuable to crop scientists.
