Journal ArticleDOI
Extent and Pattern of Genetic Diversity for Morpho-agronomic Traits in Ethiopian Highland Pulse Landraces II. Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.)
TL;DR: The study revealed that accessions from different regions might have similar genetic background and those from the same origin might also have different genetic background, and parental selection should be based on a systematic study of genetic diversity in a specific population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation Patterns and Yield Stability of Durum Wheat Landraces to Highland Cold Rainfed Areas of Iran
TL;DR: Current durum wheat selection may lead to yield stability and specific adaptation, which provides opportunities for this collection to be useful for genetic improvement of both drought and cold tolerance in durum Wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing more productive African agroforestry systems and improving food and nutritional security through tree domestication
TL;DR: In the last decade, a participatory domestication approach involving scientists and farmers in close collaboration has been developed in sub-Saharan Africa, based on satisfying household needs for tree foods and then growing to meet wider demands as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional traits differ between cereal crop progenitors and other wild grasses gathered in the Neolithic fertile crescent.
TL;DR: The data are consistent with the hypothesis that adaptations to competition and disturbance gave crop progenitors a selective advantage in the areas surrounding early human settlements and in cultivated environments, leading to their adoption as crops through processes of unconscious selection.

“Seeds” of wild grasses: A major food of Southwestern Indians
TL;DR: A search of the ethnobotanical literature revealed wild grasses to be a major food of Southwestern Indians and Oryzopsis, Sporobolus and Panicum were shown to be especially important throughout the Southwest, though a large number of other genera were of local importance.
