Comparative genomics of Arabidopsis and maize: prospects and limitations

Volker Brendel, Stefan Kurtz, Virginia Walbot Genome Biology 2002, 3:reviews1005-reviews1005.6 (14 February 2002)

The completed Arabidopsis genome seems to be of limited value as a model for maize genomics. In addition to the expansion of repetitive sequences in maize and the lack of genomic micro-colinearity, maize-specific or highly-diverged proteins contribute to a predicted maize proteome of about 50,000 proteins, twice the size of that of Arabidopsis.
