▪ 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 …

A reduction in pod shattering is one of the main components of grain legume domestication.
Despite this, many domesticated legumes suffer serious yield losses due to shattering …

Abstract The United States Department of Agriculture, Soybean Germplasm Collection
includes 18,480 domesticated soybean and 1168 wild soybean accessions introduced from …

Pod dehiscence (shattering) is essential for the propagation of wild plant species bearing
seeds in pods but is a major cause of yield loss in legume and crucifer crops. Although …

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 …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding the genetic basis underlying domestication-
related traits (DRTs) is important in order to use wild germplasm efficiently for improving …

Resistance to pod shattering is a key domestication-related trait selected for seed production
in many crops. Here, we show that the transition from shattering in wild soybeans to …

Competition for pollination is an important factor structuring flowering in many plant
communities. We examined mechanisms reducing interspecific pollen flow in a community …

Pod dehiscence facilitates seed dispersal in wild legumes but results in yield loss in
cultivated legumes. The evolutionary genetics of the legume pod dehiscence trait remain …

Loss of pod dehiscence was a key step in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] domestication.
Genome-wide association analysis for soybean shattering identified loci harboring Pdh1 …
