The Impact of Genetic Changes during Crop Domestication (2018, background): “In most crops, domestication syndrome is controlled by a limited number of major genes under monogenic recessive control, some of which tend to be only loosely linked (reviewed in [85]).”
Evolution of plant materials for ecological restoration: insights from the applied and basic literature (2017, background): “Seed shatter has been shown to be controlled by few genes (Raman et al. 2014), and non-shattering phenotypes can evolve quickly under strong directional selection (Gepts 2004).”
The Genetics and Genomics of Plant Domestication (2017, background): “Many authors have sought to determine how quickly domestication has proceeded, and archaeologists and geneticists have reached conflicting interpretations, often suggesting lengthy and rapid transitions, respectively (Gepts 2004).”
Patterns and processes in crop domestication: an historical review and quantitative analysis of 203 global food crops. (2012, background): “Artificial selection can therefore work in opposition to natural selection, and domesticated crops have reduced fitness, or, in some cases, an inability to survive outside of cultivation (Gepts, 2004; Pickersgill, 2007; Allaby et al., 2008; Purugganan & Fuller, 2011).”
The Origins of Fruits, Fruit Growing, and Fruit Breeding (2010, background): “The origins of the ancient grains (wheat, maize, rice, and sorghum) and pulses (sesame and lentil) domesticated in Neolithic times have been the subject of intense interest and the puzzle is being solved with the new evidence based on molecular biology (Gepts 2003).”
Domestication evolution, genetics and genomics in wheat (2011, background): “The domesticate acquires improved fitness for human purpose often at the expense of survival in nature, and a mutualistic relationship evolves between humans and their crops through the domestication process (Gepts 2004).”
Impact of plant domestication on rhizosphere microbiome assembly and functions (2015, background): “The process of plant domestication involves selection, modification and adoption of wild plants species with useful characteristics for human use (Gepts 2004).”
Origin of agriculture and plant domestication in West Mesoamerica (2010, background): “Plants that have responded positively to the selection process and agricultural management have been completely domesticated, while in others only certain traits of the syndrome have been fixed, leaving them semi-domesticated or in process (Gepts 2004).”
Variability and adaptability of Miscanthus species evaluated for energy crop domestication (2012, background): “Thus, taking a full advantage of variability and adaptability available in the wild progenitors would have been crucial to the success of crop domestication (Gepts, 2004; Doebley et al., 2006).”
A Pipeline Strategy for Grain Crop Domestication (2016, background): “In addition, we see this as an opportunity to expand on these ideas to bring new plant forms into use that were previously missed during domestication, leveraging what has been learned about the genetic architecture of these characteristic phenotypes (Doebley and Stec, 1991; Gepts, 2004; Li et al., ”
Crop domestication in the Compositae: a family-wide trait assessment (2008, background): “However, self-incompatibility is easily lost and domestication has occurred frequently in some outcrossing groups such as tomato and peppers (Gepts 2004; Rick 1988).”
