Largely unlinked gene sets targeted by selection for domestication syndrome phenotypes in maize and sorghum.

Abstract excerpt

The domestication of diverse grain crops from wild grasses was a result of artificial selection for a suite of overlapping traits producing changes referred to in aggregate as 'domestication syndrome'. Parallel phenotypic change can be accomplished by either selection on orthologous genes or selection on non-orthologous genes with parallel phenotypic effects. To determine how often artificial selection for...
