Rapid method for detecting SNPs on agarose gels and its application in candidate gene mapping (2007, positive): “reflecting the results of evolution and adaptation(Yamanaka et al. 2004; Wright et al. 2005).”
The Genetics and Genomics of Plant Domestication (2017, background): “…is, genetic drift (Ladizinsky 1985)—artificial selection also decreases genetic diversity in domesticated and improved plants through the removal of allelic variants of genes that confer characteristics undesirable for cultivation (Wright et al. 2005, Morrell and Clegg 2007, Allaby et al. 2008).”
Genetic association mapping and genome organization of maize. (2006, positive): “On the basis of single nucleotide polymorphism analysis, another study predicted that about 1200 maize genes were targets of selection during maize domestication or subsequent improvement by modern breeding [24].”
Natural variations and genome-wide association studies in crop plants. (2014, methodology): “Owing to significant decreases in sequencing cost, this strategy has been successfully applied in several crops (34, 39, 43, 60, 123, 127).”
The molecular genetics of crop domestication. (2006, background): “However , genes that influence desirable phenotypes experienced a more drastic loss of diversity because plants carrying favored alleles contributed the most progeny to each subsequent generation and other alleles were eliminated from the population (Wright et al., 2005).”
Deletion in a gene associated with grain size increased yields during rice domestication (2008, background): “This should be all the more true for domestication of crops with known genome informatio”
