The Families And Genera Of Vascular Plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of eudicots: sapindales, cucurbitales, myrtaceae, and myrithaceae. And they propose a new genus named myrtium.
Journal ArticleDOI
The significance of responses of the genome to challenge
TL;DR: An attempt is made to outline several experiments conducted by the author that revealed how a genome may react to conditions for which it is unprepared, but to which it responds in a discernible, but initially unforeseen manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution, consequences and future of plant and animal domestication
TL;DR: Domestication interests us as the most momentous change in Holocene human history, as farmers spread at the expense of hunter–gatherers and of other farmers.

TL;DR: Alterations in fruit size, imparted by fw2.2 alleles, are most likely due to changes in regulation rather than in the sequence and structure of the encoded protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single domestication for maize shown by multilocus microsatellite genotyping
Yoshihiro Matsuoka,Yves Vigouroux,Major M. Goodman,G Jesus Sanchez,Edward S. Buckler,John Doebley +5 more
TL;DR: All maize arose from a single domestication in southern Mexico about 9,000 years ago, consistent with a model based on the archaeological record suggesting that maize diversified in the highlands of Mexico before spreading to the lowlands.
