A comparison between crop domestication, classical plant breeding, and genetic engineering
TL;DR: It is suggested that it is unlikely that changes introduced by GE will make crops weedier, and case-by-case assessments of the benefits and potential pitfalls of GE in comparison with other crop improvement techniques are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measured domestication rates in wild wheats and barley under primitive cultivation, and their archaeological implications
G. C. Hillman,M. Stuart Davies +1 more
TL;DR: Possible delays in the start of domestication due to early crops of wild-type cereals lacking domestic-types mutants and the state of ripeness at harvest necessary for the crops to respond to these selective pressures are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropology and the conservation of biodiversity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the increasing importance of the participation of local people in conservation programs, both of local populations in protected area management and of farmers in plant genetic resources.
