Journal ArticleDOI
Maintenance of phenotypic and genotypic diversity in managed populations of Stenocereus stellatus (Cactaceae) by indigenous peoples in Central Mexico
Alejandro Casas,Jennifer M. Cruse-Sanders,Eduardo Morales,Adriana Otero-Arnaiz,Alfonso Valiente-Banuet +4 more
TL;DR: The results illustrate that human management may not only maintain but also increase both morphological and genetic diversity of manipulated plant populations in relation to that existing in the wild.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcrossing and hybridization in wild and cultivated foxtail millets: consequences for the release of transgenic crops.
TL;DR: Differences in the EcoR1 patterns of chloroplast DNA between cultivated and wild plants indicated that reciprocal crosses do occur in the field, indicating that even a largely selfing cultivated species may exchange genetic information with wild relatives at rates that may cause problems if transgenic cultivars are released.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of domesticated plant studies to our understanding of plant evolution.
TL;DR: This work has uncovered the means by which polyploid gametes are formed and have led to hypotheses about how multiallelic interactions are associated with fitness and self-fertility in alfalfa and potato.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular differentiation, diversity, and folk classification of “sweet” and “bitter” cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Caiçara and Caboclo management systems (Brazil)
TL;DR: The inter-relationships among the men, the use, and the intra-specific cassava diversity, under the perspective of this crop evolutionary dynamics is focused, and a low correlation between the morphological and genetic distances is obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agro-Biodiversity Conservation in Europe: Ethical Issues
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the biodiverse agro-ecosystems generated by landraces (LRs), i.e., farmer-developed populations of cultivated species that show among-and within-population diversity and are linked to traditional cultures.
