Pleiotropy and repeated mutation drove convergent domestication of grain amaranth

2026-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Humans reshaped environments for domesticated plants, yet the extent of human agency in the domestication process remains unresolved. Color variation has been used as evidence for an intended process by humans, as the trait has been mainly linked to visual properties. In the ancient pseudocereal grain amaranth major domestication traits have not changed, but the seed color changed repeatedly from dark to white dur...
