Fertile Crescent crop progenitors gained a competitive advantage from large seedlings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 3300-3312, April 2021., 2021
Using controlled‐setting experiments, we studied how the domestication of cereal species in the Fertile Crescent was influenced by the role of seedling competition in species mixtures. Crop progenitors had greater germination success and had greater aboveground biomass than other wild species when grown in competition with other species, and seed size ...
