A single generation of domestication heritably alters the expression of hundreds of genes

Nature Communications, 2016
Little is known about the genetic underpinnings of the earliest stages of plant and animal domestication. Here, the authors show that steelhead trout respond to a single generation of domestication selection with large, heritable changes in expression of

Changes in Reproductive Traits in Physalis philadelphica; An Unexpected Shift Toward Self-Incompatibility in a Domesticated Annual Fruit Crop

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Domestication is an evolutionary process with an impact on plant reproduction. Many domesticated plants are self-compatible (i.e., they lack mechanisms to reject their own pollen), but few domesticated plants are fully or partially self-incompatible.

Genome sequencing of the extinct Eurasian wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, illuminates the phylogeography and evolution of cattle [PDF]

, 2015
Background Domestication of the now-extinct wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, gave rise to the two major domestic extant cattle taxa, B. taurus and B. indicus.

Wild again: recovery of a beneficial Cannabis seed endophyte from low domestication genotypes

Microbiome
Background Beyond carrying the plant embryo, seeds harbour intricate microbial communities whose transmission across successive plant generations can significantly influence the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of plant–microbe symbioses. The process

The Domestication Syndrome Genes Responsible for the Major Changes in Plant Form in the Triticeae Crops [PDF]

, 2011
The process of crop domestication began 10,000 years ago in the transition of early humans from hunter/gatherers to pastoralists/farmers. Recent research has revealed the identity of some of the main genes responsible for domestication.

In situ Management and Domestication of Plants in Mesoamerica [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2007
Ethnobotanical studies in Mexico have documented that Mesoamerican peoples practise systems of in situ management of wild and weedy vegetation directed to control availability of useful plants. In situ management includes let standing, encouraging growing and protection of individual plants of useful species during clearance of vegetation, which in ...

Biomolecular evidence for plant domestication in Sahul [PDF]

, 1999
The question of the introduction of domesticated plants from the Sunda plate (South-east Asia) to Sahul (New Guinea, Australia and Tasmania) has been a subject of speculation and debate for decades.

RPAD locus controls prostrate growth habit in Oryza nivara

The Plant Genome
The development of ideal plant architecture is crucial for optimizing grain yield in crop breeding. The transition from prostrate growth habit in wild rice to erect growth habit in cultivated rice is one of the important events during rice domestication.

The Impact of Genetic Changes during Crop Domestication

Agronomy, 2018
Humans have domesticated hundreds of plant and animal species as sources of food, fiber, forage, and tools over the past 12,000 years, with manifold effects on both human society and the genetic structure of the domesticated species. The outcomes of crop
