Unconscious selection and the evolution of domesticated Plants (2008, background): “From the 1960s onward, additional contributions appeared, including reviews by Rindos (1984) and by Heiser (1988), and the papers and/or books by Zohary (1969, 1984), Zohary at al.”
The archaeobotany of Indian pulses: identification, processing and evidence for cultivation (2006, background): “Perhaps conscious selection is brought to bear by farmers (Heiser 1988, 79), or perhaps changes in agricultural techniques such as deeper tillage created a selective advantage for larger seeded genotypes.”
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”
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).”
