Jinsheng Lai and colleagues report the resequencing of 278 inbred maize lines and perform a genome-wide analysis of genetic changes during modern breeding. Using SNP imputation, the authors also perform a genome-wide association study for cob color, silk color and date to anthesis. The authors identified association signals with significant P values near known targets.
