Application of Visible/Infrared Spectroscopy and Hyperspectral Imaging With Machine Learning Techniques for Identifying Food Varieties and Geographical Origins

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Food quality and safety are strongly related to human health. Food quality varies with variety and geographical origin, and food fraud is becoming a threat to domestic and global markets. Visible/infrared spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging techniques,

Escape to Ferality: The Endoferal Origin of Weedy Rice from Crop Rice through De-Domestication. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Domestication is the hallmark of evolution and civilization and harnesses biodiversity through selection for specific traits. In regions where domesticated lines are grown near wild relatives, congeneric sources of aggressive weedy genotypes cause major ...

Multidisciplinary lines of evidence reveal East/Northeast Asian origins of agriculturalist/pastoralist residents at a Han dynasty military outpost in ancient Xinjiang

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Han/non-Han interactions were engrained among the border regions of ancient Imperial China. Yet, little is known about either the genetic origins or the lifeways of these border peoples.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of a hybrid blackberry (Rubus spp.) cultivar

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Blackberry (Rubus spp.) is an important hybrid fruit crop popular in the US Pacific Northwest and the European region with complex origins. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of a hybrid blackberry cultivar ‘Arapohol’ using

The lowest hanging fruit: Beneficial gene knockouts in past, present, and future crop evolution

open access: yesCurrent Plant Biology, 2020
It is now well-documented that gene knockout (loss-of-function) alleles have played a prominent role in crop evolution during domestication, diversification, and improvement.

The Paleobiolinguistics of Maize (Zea mays L.)

open access: yesEthnobiology Letters, 2014
Paleobiolinguistics is used to determine when and where maize (Zea mays) developed significance for different prehistoric groups of Native America. Dates and locations of proto-languages for which maize terms reconstruct generally accord with crop-origin

The complex origins of domesticated crops in the Fertile Crescent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A combination of genetics and archaeology is revealing the complexity of the relationships between crop plants and their wild ancestors. Archaeobotanical studies are showing that acquisition of the full set of traits observed in domesticated cereals ...
