The advantage of parallel selection of domestication genes to accelerate crop improvement

Genome Biol. 2018 Sep 28;19(1):147. doi: 10.1186/s13059-018-1537-7.

Abstract

A recent study identifies a locus controlling seed dormancy - a key trait of the 'domestication syndrome' - that has been selected for in parallel across multiple crop families.
