▪ Abstract Cell separation is a critical process that takes place throughout the life cycle of a
plant. It enables roots to emerge from germinating seeds, cotyledons, and leaves to expand …

Seed shattering (or pod dehiscence, or fruit shedding) is essential for the propagation of
their offspring in wild plants but is a major cause of yield loss in crops. In the dicot model …

Loss of seed dispersal is a key agronomical trait targeted by ancient human selection and
has been regarded as a milestone of crop domestication. In this study, in the legume crop …

Pod coloration is a domestication-related trait in soybean, with modern cultivars typically
displaying brown or tan pods, while their wild relative, Glycine soja, possesses black pods …

Plant domestication has strongly modified crop morphology and development. Nevertheless,
many crops continue to display atavistic characteristics that were advantageous to their wild …

Crop domestication provides a useful model system to characterize the molecular and
developmental bases of morphological variation in plants. Among the most universal …

The origin of the agriculture was one of the turning points in human history, and a central
part of this was the evolution of new plant forms, domesticated crops. Seed dispersal and …

In wild habitats, fruit dehiscence is a critical strategy for seed dispersal; however, in
cultivated crops it is one of the major sources of yield loss. Therefore, indehiscence of fruits …

Pod dehiscence is a major source of yield loss in legumes, which is exacerbated by aridity.
Disruptive mutations in “Pod indehiscent 1”(PDH1), a pod sclerenchyma‐specific lignin …

Pod dehiscence or pod shattering is one of the major factors leading to remarkable yield
losses in soybean. The anatomical and morphological configuration of pod tissues is related …
