The identification of cultivated pearl millet (Pennisetum) amongst plant impressions on pottery from Oued Chebbi (Dhar Oualata, Mauritania)
Sylvie Amblard,Jean Pernès +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the majority of the neolithic pottery from Dhar Tichitt and Oualata bears abundant plant impressions on its surface and the criteria for differentiation between impressions made by wild and cultivatedPennisetum are clearly defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation and interrelationships of agronomic traits in Ethiopian tetraploid wheat landraces
TL;DR: It appears that, for the short-term, improvement of the Ethiopian wheat landraces may be possible through indirect selection for TN and TKW or direct selection for grain yield per se, and crossing programmes between indigenous and introduced germplasm may be necessary.

Molecular Systematics and Crop Evolution
TL;DR: This work has shown that variation in DNA sequences is more readily subjected to statistical analysis than many previous types of data, and it can be less ambiguous, making interpretation of data more straightforward.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chickpea domestication in the Neolithic Levant through the nutritional perspective
TL;DR: It is suggested that these nutritive facts may explain the decision of prehistoric farmers to choose this rare species and struggle to keep such an agronomically complicated crop under domestication.

Domestication of Plants
TL;DR: The domestication of plants was a signature technology initiated by humans during the transition from hunting–gathering to agriculture, about 12 000 years ago, and has had a significant impact for continued crop improvement.
