Genomic insights into the domestication of the chocolate tree, <i>Theobroma cacao</i> L

2017-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Domestication has had a strong impact on the development of modern societies. We sequenced 200 genomes of the chocolate plant Theobroma cacao L. to show for the first time that a single population underwent strong domestication approximately 3,600 years (95% CI: 2481 – 10,903 years ago) ago, the Criollo population. We also show that during the process of domestication, there was strong selection for genes involve...
