We sampled DNA sequences from the locus encoding alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1). Our sample represents Adh1 alleles from a wide geographic distribution of Zea mays (maize) and two species of teosinte (Zea luxurians and Zea diploperennis). Using these and previously published sequences, we analyze the molecular evolution of Adh1 in the genus Zea. We perform tests to characterize recombination and identify the putative parents of the recombinant Adh1-Cm allele. W ...[more]
