Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Tomatoes come in a multitude of shapes and flavors despite a narrow genetic pool. Here,
we leverage whole-genome resequencing data available for 602 cultivated and wild …

Domesticated species often exhibit convergent phenotypic evolution, termed the
domestication syndrome, of which loss of seed dormancy is a component. To date …

Key message Thermotolerant crop research. Abstract Global warming has become a serious
worldwide threat. High temperature is a major environmental factor limiting crop productivity …

Domesticated plants have long served as excellent models for studying evolution. Many
genes and mutations underlying important domestication traits have been identified, and …

The need to boost agricultural production in the coming decades in a climate change
scenario requires new approaches for the development of new crop varieties that are more …

With the growth of the global population and the increasing frequency of natural disasters,
crop yields must be steadily increased to enhance human adaptability to risks. Pre-harvest …

Our understanding of domestication comes largely from archeology and genetics. Here, we
advocate using current ecological theory and methodologies to provide novel insights into …

Crop wild relatives offer natural variations of disease resistance for crop improvement. Here,
we report the isolation of broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance gene Pm36, originated …

The majority of the crops and vegetables of today were domesticated from their wild
progenitors within the past 12 000 years. Considerable research effort has been expended …
