Domestication syndrome of Amaranthus cruentus (Amaranthoideae, Amaranthaceae) at its putative domestication centres [PDF]

Plant Ecology and Evolution
Background and aims – Amaranthus cruentus, native to Mexico and Guatemala, has significant cultural, medicinal, and ornamental uses and growing agricultural relevance. However, little research has focused on its origin and domestication. To determine its

Disruptive natural selection by male reproductive potential prevents underexpression of protein-coding genes on the human Y chromosome as a self-domestication syndrome. [PDF]

BMC Genet, 2020
In population ecology, the concept of reproductive potential denotes the most vital indicator of chances to produce and sustain a healthy descendant until his/her reproductive maturity under the best conditions.

Is there a domestication syndrome in Vitis (Vitaceae) seed morphology? [PDF]

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution
Characterizing plant genetic resources and understanding the domestication process are key challenges in horticulture. This study focuses on the common grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), employing molecular, ampelographic, and morphometric techniques to ...

The Domestication of Humans

Encyclopedia, 2023
The domestication of humans is not an issue of domesticity but of the effects of the domestication syndrome on a hominin species and its genome. These effects are well expressed in the ‘anatomically modern humans’, in their physiology, behavior, genetic ...

QTL analysis of domestication syndrome in zombi pea (Vigna vexillata), an underutilized legume crop. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2018
Zombi pea (Vigna vexillata (L.) A. Rich) is an underutilized crop belonging to the genus Vigna. Two domesticated forms of zombi pea are cultivated as crop plants; seed and tuber forms.

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin-Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...
