A domestic plant differs from its wild relative along multiple axes of within‐plant trait variability and diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
For 10,000 years humans have altered plant traits through domestication and ongoing crop improvement, shaping plant form and function in agroecosystems.

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

open access: yes, 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]

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yesPlants, 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.

Characteristics of Plant Eating in Domestic Cats [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Plant eating by domestic cats is of interest to veterinarians and cat owners, especially with the current trend to keep cats totally indoors. Feline grass gardens are commonly provided to such cats as a reflection of cat owners believing in the need or desire of cats for eating plants. Two surveys with 1000 to 2000 returns from cat owners were launched

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

open access: yes, 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.
