The "domestication syndrome" in mammals: a unified explanation based on neural crest cell behavior and genetics. [PDF]
Genetics, 2014 Charles Darwin, while trying to devise a general theory of heredity from the observations of animal and plant breeders, discovered that domesticated mammals possess a distinctive and unusual suite of heritable traits not seen in their wild progenitors ...

Revisiting two hypotheses on the “domestication syndrome” in light of genomic data
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017 Domesticated mammals of many different species share a set of physical and physiological traits that are not displayed by any of their wild progenitors.

Williams Syndrome, Human Self-Domestication, and Language Evolution [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Language evolution resulted from changes in our biology, behavior, and culture. One source of these changes might be human self-domestication. Williams syndrome (WS) is a clinical condition with a clearly defined genetic basis which results in a ...

Domestication Syndrome Is Investigated by Proteomic Analysis between Cultivated Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and Its Wild Relatives. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) wild relatives remain a largely untapped potential for genetic improvement. However, the domestication syndrome phenomena from wild species to cultivated cassava remain poorly understood.

The Spatiotemporal Genetic Architecture of Seed Vigor in Upland Cotton. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Leveraging the semi‐automated SeedRanger platform, we profiled the germination kinetics of 356 cotton accessions at a 30‐min interval. This high‐throughput phenomic approach delineated a temporal genetic network comprising 541 stage‐specific loci. Crucially, functional validation identified FLA2 as a pivotal, auxin‐modulated regulator that orchestrates

The expensive-tissue hypothesis may help explain brain-size reduction during domestication
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2022 Morphological traits, such as white patches, floppy ears and curly tails, are ubiquitous in domestic animals and are referred to as the ‘domestication syndrome’. A commonly discussed hypothesis that has the potential to provide a unifying explanation for

Domestication syndrome via indirect selection in simulated cereal grains [PDF]
, 2023 Domestication syndrome in cereal grains is commonly thought to be the product of domestication through a combination of direct artificial selection and indirect natural selection by humans. We propose an agent-based model of grain domestication.

Plants cultivated for ecosystem restoration can evolve towards a domestication syndrome
bioRxiv, 2023 The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration calls for upscaling restoration efforts, but many terrestrial restoration projects are constrained by seed availability.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the oldest and most phenotypically diverse pre-Columbian crops of the Americas. Despite the abundance of genetic resources, the use of wild germplasm and landraces in chili pepper breeding is limited.
