Archaeogenomic insights into the adaptation of plants to the human environment : pushing plant–hominin co-evolution back to the Pliocene [PDF]

, 2015
The colonization of the human environment by plants, and the consequent evolution of domesticated forms is increasingly being viewed as a co-evolutionary plant–human process that occurred over a long time period, with evidence for the co-evolutionary ...

Meristem transitions and plant architecture-learning from domestication for crop breeding.

, 2021
Genetic networks that regulate meristem transitions were recurrent targets of selection during crop domestication and allow fine-tuning of plant architecture for improved crop ...

Using archaeogenomic and computational approaches to unravel the history of local adaptation in crops [PDF]

, 2014
Our understanding of the evolution of domestication has changed radically in the past 10 years, from a relatively simplistic rapid origin scenario to a protracted complex process in which plants adapted to the human environment.

High dimensional phenomics and automation to transform domestication of new crops

, 2022
The majority of domesticated plant species are herbaceous annuals and woody perennials, yet many herbaceous perennial species hold potential for future agricultural systems.

Indigenous and Traditional Management Creates and Maintains the Diversity of Ecosystems of South American Tropical Savannas

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The tropical South American savannas have been occupied and manipulated by humans since the late Pleistocene. Ecologists consider that soils, hydrology, and seasonal precipitation influence the structure and composition of plants and the fire-proneness ...

The complex origins of domesticated crops in the Fertile Crescent [PDF]

, 2008
A combination of genetics and archaeology is revealing the complexity of the relationships between crop plants and their wild ancestors. Archaeobotanical studies are showing that acquisition of the full set of traits observed in domesticated cereals ...

The “when”, the “where” and the “why” of the Neolithic revolution in the Levant

Documenta Praehistorica, 2001
An accumulation of data concerning the domestication of plants and the refinement of research questions in the last decade have enabled us a new look at the Neolithic Revolution and Neolithization processes in the Levant.

Advances in Genomics Approaches Shed Light on Crop Domestication

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.
