Technological advances in maize breeding: past, present and future
Maize has for many decades been both one of the most important crops worldwide and one
of the primary genetic model organisms. More recently, maize breeding has been impacted …

Genetic costs of domestication and improvement
The “cost of domestication” hypothesis posits that the process of domesticating wild species
can result in an increase in the number, frequency, and/or proportion of deleterious genetic …

Getting back to nature: feralization in animals and plants
Formerly domesticated organisms and artificially selected genes often escape controlled
cultivation, but their subsequent evolution is not well studied. In this review, we examine …
