Gene network simulations provide testable predictions for the molecular domestication syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

The domestication of plant species leads to repeatable morphological evolution, often referred to as the phenotypic domestication syndrome. Domestication is also associated with important genomic changes, such as the loss of genetic diversity compared with adequately large wild populations, and modifications of gene expression patterns. Here, we explored theoretically the effect of a domestication-like scenario...
