Exaptation traits for megafaunal Mutualisms as a factor in plant domestication [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2021
Megafaunal extinctions are recurring events that cause evolutionary ripples, as cascades of secondary extinctions and shifting selective pressures reshape ecosystems.

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 ...

The Landscape of Long Non-Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

Plant domestication and agricultural ecologies [PDF]

, 2023
Plant life defines the environments to which animals adapt and provides the basis of food webs. This was equally true for hunter-gatherer economies of ancestral humans, yet through the domestication of plants and the creation of agricultural ecologies ...

Rhizosphere Microbiome Co-Occurrence Network Analysis across a Tomato Domestication Gradient

Microorganisms
When plant-available phosphorus (P) is lost from a soil solution, it often accumulates in the soil as a pool of unavailable legacy P. To acquire legacy P, plants employ recovery strategies, such as forming associations with soil microbes.

Domestication as innovation : the entanglement of techniques, technology and chance in the domestication of cereal crops [PDF]

, 2010
The origins of agriculture involved pathways of domestication in which human behaviours and plant genetic adaptations were entangled. These changes resulted in consequences that were unintended at the start of the process.

Locus-specific view of flax domestication history [PDF]

, 2011
Crop domestication has been inferred genetically from neutral markers and increasingly from specific domestication-associated loci. However, some crops are utilized for multiple purposes that may or may not be reflected in a single domestication ...

Population Genomics of Domesticated Cucurbita ficifolia Reveals a Recent Bottleneck and Low Gene Flow with Wild Relatives

Plants, 2023
Cucurbita ficifolia is a squash grown from Mexico to Bolivia. Its ancestor is unknown, but it has limited compatibility with wild xerophytic Cucurbita from Mexico’s highlands. We assembled the reference genome of C.

Integrating the processes in the evolutionary system of domestication [PDF]

, 2010
Genetics has long been used as a source of evidence to understand domestication origins. A recent shift in the emphasis of archaeological evidence from a rapid transition paradigm of hunter-gatherers to agriculturalists, to a protracted transition ...

First Glimpse on Spring Starflower Domestication

, 2022
The cultivation and domestication of plants are human-driven processes that change the biology and attributes of a plant. Ipheion uniflorum is a bulbous geophyte known as Spring Starflower whose cultivation dates back to the first half of the 19th ...
