Native Americans domesticated maize ( ssp. ) from lowland teosinte ( ssp. in the warm Mexican southwest and brought it to the highlands of Mexico and South America where it was exposed to lower temperatures that imposed strong selection on flowering time. Phospholipids are important metabolites in p...
