• Major impacts of widespread structural variation on gene expression and crop improvement in tomato (2020, neutral): “Phenotypic variation in crop plants is shaped by genetic variation from their wild ancestors, as well as the selection and maintenance of collections of mutations that impact agricultural adaptations and human preferences (Meyer and Purugganan, 2013; Olsen and Wendel, 2013).”
• The Impact of Genetic Changes during Crop Domestication (2018, background): “Selection on standing genetic variation might cause the repeated involvement of the same locus in independent domestication events [33] because the selection of favorable alleles that are already present in a wild population usually proceeds faster than new mutations can arise [68,82,83].”
• Engineering Quantitative Trait Variation for Crop Improvement by Genome Editing. (2017, background): “Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in both plants and animals have revealed many of the genetic changes driving evolution, domestication, and breeding occurred in cis-regulatory regions (Meyer and Purugganan, 2013; Olsen and Wendel, 2013; Wang et al., 2”
• Potential and limits of exploitation of crop wild relatives for pea, lentil, and chickpea improvement (2020, background): “However, this inevitably led to the occurrence of undesired wild type traits, which have been removed or altered through the domestication process (Meyer & Purugganan, 2013).”
• The Genetics and Genomics of Plant Domestication (2017, background): “Domestication is a well-studied process, beginning with Darwin’s (1859) work describing how selection alters cultivated taxa (Gepts 2004, Meyer and Purugganan 2013).”
