PART OF A HIGHLIGHT ON GENES IN EVOLUTION Evolution under domestication: ongoing artificial selection and divergence of wild and managed Stenocereus pruinosus (Cactaceae) populations in the Tehuacan Valley, Mexico

Fabiola Parra, +1 more
TL;DR: Traditional management of S. pruinosus involves artificial selection, which, despite the high levels of gene flow, has promoted morphological divergence and moderate genetic structure between wild and managed populations, while conserving genetic diversity.

Differential transcriptome patterns associated with early seedling development in a wild and a domesticated common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) accession

Jugpreet Singh, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that wild and domesticated plants have different early seedling growth patterns as an indirect consequence of selection for a larger seed size during domestication, and those differences resulted from changes in gene expression patterns of the wild ancestor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenological variation among Israeli populations of Cicer judaicum Boiss.

Roi Ben-David, +1 more
- 20 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that increasing the number of sampling sites at the expense of more intensive collection within sites is likely to optimise collection strategy for this species.

From weeds to wheat: a diachronic approach to ancient biocultural diversity in the Santa María valley, northwest Argentina

Natalia Silvana Petrucci, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed continuities and changes in plant diversity and use in the southern part of the Santa Maria valley in northwest Argentina, from the 1st millennium ad up to the Spanish Conquest in the 16th century.

Turkish wheat landraces: Population structure and function

Özlem Özbek
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: Wheat landraces are adapted to different local environmental conditions and have great potential as source of traits for good quality, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and high yield and can be used to develop modern durum or bread wheat cultivars.
