Evolution of crop species: genetics of domestication and diversification
RS Meyer, MD Purugganan - Nature reviews genetics, 2013 - nature.com
Domestication is a good model for the study of evolutionary processes because of the recent
evolution of crop species (< 12,000 years ago), the key role of selection in their origins, and …
