The classic domestication scenario for grains and fruits has been portrayed as the lucky
fixation of major-effect “domestication genes.” Characterization of these genes plus recent …

There is intense interest in using genome editing technologies to domesticate wild plants, or
accelerate the improvement of weakly domesticated crops, in de novo domestication. Here …

Current food systems are challenged by relying on a few input-intensive, staple crops. The
prioritization of yield and the loss of diversity during the recent history of domestication has …

Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people. However, productivity
varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land …

Domestication of orphan crops could be explored by editing their genomes. Genome editing
has a lot of promise for enhancing agricultural output, and there is a lot of interest in …

Highlights•The new breeding strategy, de novo domestication, has emerged and been
demonstrated by pioneer work.•New agricultural challenges drive the shift of breeding …

The domestication of new crops would promote agricultural diversity and could provide a
solution to many of the problems associated with intensive agriculture. We suggest here that …

Domestication has helped to understand evolution. We argue that, vice versa, novel insights
into evolutionary principles could provide deeper insights into domestication. Molecular …
