Contrasting genomic routes to domestication in Occidental and Oriental pears
2025-11-17
Abstract excerpt
The domestication of perennial fruit trees remains poorly understood compared with annual crops, which were shaped by strong bottlenecks and elevated genetic load. Pears ( Pyrus spp.) provide an ideal model for exploring how long-lived, outcrossing crops evolved under human selection. Here, we combined high-coverage whole-genome resequencing of 396 wild and cultivated accessions from Occidental and Oriental pears...
