Zea luxurians, also referred to by the common names Maíz de Monte,[1] Florida teosinte and Guatemalan teosinte,[3] is a species of annual flowering plant in the family Poaceae.[4] It is a true grass and a teosinte.
Distribution
[edit]It is native to Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, but it can also be found in areas where it has been introduced, including Brazil, Colombia, and French Guiana.[2][5]
Genome
[edit]Tenaillon et al., 2011 obtain genome size estimates and transposable element (TE) content by high-throughput sequencing.[6] They find ~50% difference in size and that divergence from maize (Z. mays) is largely due to different % of TE content.[6] Ratios between TE families are highly conserved between Z. luxurians and Z. mays.[6]
