Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Amazonia is a major world centre of plant domestication, but the genetics of domestication remains unclear for most Amazonian crops. Manioc (Manihot esculenta) is the most important staple food crop that originated in this region.

The Amazonian Formative: Crop Domestication and Anthropogenic Soils
Diversity, 2010 The emergence of sedentism and agriculture in Amazonia continues to sit uncomfortably within accounts of South American pre-Columbian history. This is partially because deep-seated models were formulated when only ceramic evidence was known, partly ...

The evolutionary fate of phenotypic plasticity and functional traits under domestication in manioc: changes in stem biomechanics and the appearance of stem brittleness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Domestication can influence many functional traits in plants, from overall life-history and growth form to wood density and cell wall ultrastructure. Such changes can increase fitness of the domesticate in agricultural environments but may negatively ...

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2017 Although manioc is well adapted to nutrient-poor Oxisols of Amazonia, ethnobotanical observations show that bitter manioc is also frequently cultivated in the highly fertile soils of the floodplains and Amazonian dark earths (ADE) along the middle ...

Maintien du potentiel adaptatif chez les plantes domestiquées à propagation clonale
Revue d'ethnoécologie, 2012 We studied how Amerindian cultivators of manioc in Amazonia simultaneously maintain the genetic diversity and the agronomic performance of their populations of this plant. A shrub domesticated in Amazonia probably over 7000 years ago, manioc is today the
