  • Sequence depth and read length determine the quality of genome assembly. Here, the authors leverage a set of PacBio reads to develop guidelines for sequencing and assembly of complex plant genomes in order to allocate finite resources using maize as an example.

  • Breeding has increased crop productivity, but whether it has also changed phenotypic plasticity is unclear. Here, the authors find maize genomic regions selected for high productivity show reduced contribution to genotype by environment variation and provide evidence for regulatory control of phenotypic stability.

  • Geneticists and breeders are enthralled with the variability of traits within a species, but fundamental questions remain about what types of molecular changes underlie phenotypic variation. An investigation of the transcriptomes of agricultural varieties of maize provides insights into the variability of gene expression and it’s phenotypic consequences.
