Plant Domestication and Crop Evolution in the Near East: On Events and Processes (2012, background): “Similarly, understanding the adaptive evolutionary processes involved in the spread of crop plants out of their ‘core domestication area’ (sensu Lev-Yadun et al., 2000; Gopher et al., 2001; Abbo et al., 2006, 2010a) into and across different agro-climatic zones (e.g., Badr et al., 2000; Jones et…”
Low-Temperature Stress: Implications for Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Improvement (2003, background): “Botanical, genetic, and archeological evidence points to chickpea originating within the Fertile Crescent, Turkey (Lev-Yadun et al., 2000).”
The Origins of Agriculture in the Near East (2011, background): “By the late 1990s, a compelling case could be made that this region was a “cradle of agriculture” in a true Vavlovian sense (Lev-Yadun, Gopher, and Abbo 2000).”
Productivity, sustainability, and rainfall-use efficiency in Australian rainfed Mediterranean agricultural systems (2005, unknown): “Despite the importance of perennial vegetation in maintaining a balanced annual water use, the region around theMediterraneanBasinwas also the centre of origin ofmany of the current annual crop species such as wheat, barley, lentil, chickpea, field pea, narrow-leafed lupin (Gladstones and Crosbie 19”
Agricultural Origins: Centers and Noncenters; A Near Eastern Reappraisal (2010, background): “…and Hopf, 2000; Table 1) in the heart of our proposed core area challenges Willcox’s (2005) multiple domestication centers hypothesis for wild cereals, and in fact turns this argument on its head, lending support to our core area of Near Eastern plant domestication (sensu Lev-Yadun et al., 2000).”
Crop Domestication as a Long‐Term Selection Experiment (2010, background): “Lev-Yadun et al. (2000) suggested that domestication of the "founder crops" of the Fertile Crescent (einkorn, emmer, barley, pea, chickpea, lentil, and .flax) had all taken place in a restricted area in southern Turkey.”
Genetics of flowering time in chickpea and its bearing on productivity in semiarid environments (2001, background): “This includes the wild species of diploid and tetraploid wheat, barley, lentil, pea, bitter vetch, and flax as well as wild rye (Lev-Yadun et al., 2000).”
Chickpea molecular breeding: New tools and concepts (2006, background): “Despite its high morphological variability, genetic variation is low, probably a consequence of its monophyletic descendence from its wild progenitor C. reticulatum in the Fertile Crescent (Ladizinsky & Adler, 1976; Lev-Yadun et al., 2000; Abbo et al., 2003).”
Cultivation and domestication had multiple origins: arguments against the core area hypothesis for the origins of agriculture in the Near East (2011, background): “Lev-Yadun et al. (2000) declared this as the ‘core area’ for agricultural origins.”
The Impact of Genetic Changes during Crop Domestication (2018, background): “While these regions clearly lie outside a discretely defined core area [21], they do occur within “interacting socio-cultural spheres” [22], making it difficult to be certain about their independent, polyphyletic origin.”
Domestication of emmer wheat and evolution of free-threshing tetraploid wheat (2007, background): “Recent evidence indicates that the development of farming was a polycentric process (Nesbitt, 2002, 2004; Gebel, 2004) rather than a local event occurring in a small core area (Lev-Yadun et al., 2000) that later spread throughout the Levant.”
