- Plant Domestication and Crop Evolution in the Near East: On Events and Processes (2012, background): “Hence, we need not assume that the emergence of a domesticated crop was entirely dependent upon a ‘necessary stage’ of protracted pre-domestication cultivation, which drove automatic (and unconscious) selection processes (e.g., Wilke et al., 1972; Harlan et al., 1973; Heiser, 1988; Kislev, 2002; Zoh”
- T’ef (Eragrostis tef) in Ancient Agricultural Systems of Highland Ethiopia (2008, background): “The absence of intensive tillage and deep planting reduce selection pressures for large seeds (cf. Harlan et al. 1973; Zohary 2004), and these factors may have further encouraged the maintenance of smaller grain sizes in t’ef.”
- Patterns and processes in crop domestication: an historical review and quantitative analysis of 203 global food crops. (2012, background): “In recent years, scientists have used molecular techniques to test and apply theories of crop origins put forward 150 yr ago by Darwin (1868) and De Candolle (1884) (Doebley et al., 1995; Gepts, 2004; Zohary, 2004; Fuller, 2007; Gregory, 2009; Brown, 2010).”
- Water management and labour in the origins and dispersal of Asian rice (2009, background): “…the Near Eastern cereals, the annual habit makes these attractive grain sources, and O. nivara tends towards self-pollination, which in theory should lend itself to rapid domestication (Zohary 2004), if it were brought into cultivation, especially on new plots of land free of the wild progenitor.”
- Crop domestication in the Compositae: a family-wide trait assessment (2008, background): “None of the latter have been heavily cultivated for a long time, benefited from modern breeding efforts or been grown in environments that are intensively controlled by humans—the cause of unconscious selection (Zohary 2004; Heiser 1988).”
- The Impact of Genetic Changes during Crop Domestication (2018, background): “Finally, there is a long standing discussion on the relative roles of conscious (intentional selection for a trait) or unconscious selection (selection that occurs as a by-product of farming systems) [20,37].”
