DNA sequence diversity and the origin of cultivated safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.; Asteraceae) [PDF]

, 2007
Background Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a diploid oilseed crop whose origin is largely unknown. Safflower is widely believed to have been domesticated over 4,000 years ago somewhere in the Fertile Crescent.

Lessons from domestication: targeting cis-regulatory elements for crop improvement [PDF]

, 2016
Domestication of wild plant species has provided us with crops that serve our human nutritional needs. Advanced DNA sequencing has propelled the unveiling of underlying genetic changes associated with domestication.

From wild to mild and back again: envisioning a new model of crop improvement strategies

Frontiers in Horticulture
Climate change creates a leverage point in plant breeding. We must rethink the way we employ plant breeding, utilize genetic diversity, and prioritize edible plant production across the landscape.

Genome-Wide Analysis Identified a Set of Conserved lncRNAs Associated with Domestication-Related Traits in Rice [PDF]

, 2021
Crop domestication, which gives rise to a number of desirable agronomic traits, represents a typical model system of plant evolution. Numerous genomic evidence has proven that noncoding RNAs such as microRNAs and phasiRNAs, as well as protein-coding ...

Domestication shaped the chromatin landscape of grain amaranth

Nature Communications
Plant domestication has had profound impacts on the morphology and genetic diversity of crops. Beyond sequence diversity, changes in chromatin structure can play an important role in plant adaptation.

Ustilago and the accidental domestication of maize [PDF]

, 2009
Maize is the essential crop of the Americas. Maize appeared suddenly about 8,500 years ago as domesticated teosinte; however, there is no evidence (genetical, archaeological, linguistic or ethnobotanical) able to support a gradual transformation from the

The limits of mean-field heterozygosity estimates under spatial extension in simulated plant populations [PDF]

, 2012
Computational models of evolutionary processes are increasingly required to incorporate multiple and diverse sources of data. A popular feature to include in population genetics models is spatial extension, which reflects more accurately natural ...
