Abstract excerpt
Rye (Secale cereale) is an important crop with multiple uses and a valuable genetic resource for wheat breeding. However, due to its complex genome and outcrossing nature, the origin of cultivated rye remains elusive. The geneticist N.I. Vavilov proposed that cultivated rye had been domesticated from weedy rye, rather than directly from wild species like other crops. Unraveling the domestication history of rye...
