Natural Variation and Domestication Selection of ZmPGP1 Affects Plant Architecture and Yield-Related Traits in Maize [PDF]

, 2019
ZmPGP1, involved in the polar auxin transport, has been shown to be associated with plant height, leaf angle, yield traits, and root development in maize. To explore natural variation and domestication selection of ZmPGP1, we re-sequenced the ZmPGP1 gene

The “Bringing into Cultivation” Phase of the Plant Domestication Process and Its Contributions to In Situ Conservation of Genetic Resources in Benin

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
All over the world, plant domestication is continually being carried out by local communities to support their needs for food, fibre, medicine, building materials, etc.

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 ...

When half is more than the whole: Wheat domestication syndrome reconsidered

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Two opposing models currently dominate Near Eastern plant domestication research. The core area‐one event model depicts a knowledge‐based, conscious, geographically centered, rapid single‐event domestication, while the protracted‐autonomous model ...

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 “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.

Disentangling Domestication from Food Production Systems in the Neotropics

Quaternary, 2021
The Neolithic Revolution narrative associates early-mid Holocene domestications with the development of agriculture that fueled the rise of late Holocene civilizations.

Resistance and Tolerance to Root Herbivory in Maize Were Mediated by Domestication, Spread, and Breeding

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Plants may defend against herbivory and disease through various means. Plant defensive strategies against herbivores include resistance and tolerance, which may have metabolic costs that affect plant growth and reproduction.

The Domestication of the Amazon Tree Grape (Pourouma cecropiifolia) Under an Ecological Lens

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Domestication studies traditionally focus on the differences in morphological characteristics between wild and domesticated populations that are under direct selection, the components of the domestication syndrome.
