Abstract

In a plant evolutionary time scale, running to millions of years, with a very constrained genetic bottleneck in the selection of rare mutations for domestication traits (reduced shattering, reduced seed dormancy, and increased seed size) and natural selection under a generally mild environment without frequent extremes, crop diversification during the past 10000 years, comparatively, has been relatively recent.
