In the case of maize, that diversity is the product of evolution and adaptation over the last several million years. There are more than 100 million common genetic variations distributed across the maize genome, which makes any two maize varieties likely to be far more different genetically than humans and chimps are from one another. This tremendous natural diversity has already allowed maize to respond to selection in a multitude of ways, and provides the potential for creating a more sustainable crop that satisfies some of the desperate nutritional needs facing many parts of the world. Future improvement of maize will be greatly accelerated through genomics. However, until recently, the tools of genomics could only be applied to a few maize varieties, due to the high cost and the labor involved. But this has all changed in the last few years. We have developed major technological and an...
