The limits of selection during maize domestication.

Nature - 18 Mar 1999

Wang R L, Stec A, Hey J, Lukens L, Doebley J

Abstract excerpt

The domestication of all major crop plants occurred during a brief period in human history about 10,000 years ago. During this time, ancient agriculturalists selected seed of preferred forms and culled out seed of undesirable types to produce each subsequent generation. Consequently, favoured alleles at genes controlling traits of interest increased in frequency, ultimately reaching fixation. When selection is...
