Distinct types of selection and genetic architecture shape molecular variation during the domestication of vegetable crops.

Abstract excerpt

Humans select vegetable crops with desirable traits via a complex evolutionary process called domestication, generating a variety of cultivars worldwide. With advances in sequencing technologies, genomic scans for "signatures of selection" are widely used to identify target loci of selection. In the early phases of domestication, humans tended to favor similar sets of phenotypes in diverse crops, resulting in...
