Plant domestication shapes rhizosphere microbiome assembly and metabolic functions [PDF]
Microbiome, 2023 Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth.

Prehistoric Plant Exploitation and Domestication: An Inspiration for the Science of De Novo Domestication in Present Times [PDF]
Plants, 2023 De novo domestication is a novel trend in plant genetics, where traits of wild or semi-wild species are changed by the use of modern precision breeding techniques so that they conform to modern cultivation.

Plant domestication and agricultural ecologies [PDF]
Current Biology, 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 based around them, human societies transformed vegetation and transported plant taxa into new ...

Domestication-driven changes in plant traits associated with changes in the assembly of the rhizosphere microbiota in tetraploid wheat [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Despite the large morphological and physiological changes that plants have undergone through domestication, little is known about their impact on their microbiome.

Plant domestication and resistance to herbivory. [PDF]
Int J Plant Genomics, 2013 Transformation of wild species into elite cultivars through “domestication” entails evolutionary responses in which plant populations adapt to selection. Domestication is a process characterized by the occurrence of key mutations in morphological, phenological, or utility genes, which leads to the increased adaptation and use of the plant; however ...

Maize leaf endosphere microbiome was affected by domestication and shows patterns consistent with microbial dysbiosis [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiomesBackgroundWhether domestication, post-domestication spread, and breeding affected the maize leaf endosphere microbiota is poorly understood despite the well-known effects of those processes on the crop’s genetics and responses to the environment.

Advances in Genomics Approaches Shed Light on Crop Domestication [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Crop domestication occurred ~10,000–12,000 years ago when humans shifted from a hunter–gatherer to an agrarian society. Crops were domesticated by selecting the traits in wild plant species that were suitable for human use.

The domestication of plant architecture in African rice [PDF]
Plant Journal, 2018 SummaryPlant architecture is a key agronomical factor determining crop yield and has been a major target of cereal crop domestication. The transition of plant architecture from the prostrate tiller of typical African wild rice (Oryza barthii) to the erect tiller of African cultivated rice (Oryza glaberrima) was a key step during domestication of ...

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.
