General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
evolution	nucleotide diversity analysis of VDE1 in maize and teosinte indicates that its exon has less genetic variation, consistent with the conserved function of VDE1 in plants. In addition, dramatically reduced nucleotide diversity, fewer haplotypes and a significantly negative parameter deviation for Tajima's D test of ZmVDE1 in maize and teosinte suggest that a potential selective force has acted across the ZmVDE1 locus. A 4.2 Mb selective sweep with low recombination surrounding the ZmVDE1 locus has resulted in severely reduced nucleotide diversity on chromosome 2. Natural selection and the conserved domains of ZmVDE1 might show an important role in the xanthophyll cycle of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Maize domestication involves a radical phenotypic transformation, resulting in an unbranched plant with numerous exposed seed attached to a cob in 20 rows or more. The dramatic morphological changes from teosinte to maize likely involved alterations in only a few significant genes with large effect.

physiological function	violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE) has a critical role in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, which is involved in protecting the photosynthesis apparatus from damage caused by excessive light. The enzyme functions as an important synthetase involved in nutrient accumulation in maize kernels. VDE has a conserved function in plants	Zea mays subsp. mays
