Unintended Consequences of Plant Domestication
Plant And Cell Physiology, 2022Abstract Human selection on wild populations mostly favored a common set of plant traits during domestication. This process of direct selection also altered other independent traits that were not directly perceived or desired during crop domestication and improvement.

Domestication and plant genomes
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2010The techniques of plant improvement have been evolving with the advancement of technology, progressing from crop domestication by Neolithic humans to scientific plant breeding, and now including DNA-based genotyping and genetic engineering. Archeological findings have shown that early human ancestors often unintentionally selected for and finally fixed

Effects of Domestication on Plant–Microbiome Interactions
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2022Abstract Through the process of domestication, selection is targeted on a limited number of plant traits that are typically associated with yield. As an unintended consequence, domesticated plants often perform poorly compared to their wild progenitors for a multitude of traits that were not under selection during domestication ...

Plant domestication: setting biological clocks
Trends in Plant Science, 2023Through domestication of wild species, humans have induced large changes in the developmental and circadian clocks of plants. As a result of these changes, modern crops are more productive and adaptive to contrasting environments from the center of origin of their wild ancestors, albeit with low genetic variability and abiotic stress tolerance ...

India is the fourth largest energy consumer in the world after the United States, China, and Russia. In recent years, India’s energy consumption has been increasing at a relatively fast rate due to population growth and economic development. Rapid urbanization and improving standards of living for millions of Indian households, the demand is likely to ...

Theoretical basis of the plant domestication
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1980Plant domestication is stimulated by economic demands. Crop plant formation is controlled primarily by natural selection in cultivation; artificial selection is only a useful addition. The ecotypical nature of the initial material has great bearing on the success of domestication.

Plant domestication slows pest evolution
Ecology Letters, 2015AbstractAgricultural practices such as breeding resistant varieties and pesticide use can cause rapid evolution of pest species, but it remains unknown how plant domestication itself impacts pest contemporary evolution. Using experimental evolution on a comparative phylogenetic scale, we compared the evolutionary dynamics of a globally important ...

Plant domestication through an ecological lens
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015Our understanding of domestication comes largely from archeology and genetics. Here, we advocate using current ecological theory and methodologies to provide novel insights into the causes and limitations of evolution under cultivation, as well as into the wider ecological impacts of domestication.
