Formerly domesticated organisms and artificially selected genes often escape controlled
cultivation, but their subsequent evolution is not well studied. In this review, we examine …

Experimental studies of evolution performed in nature and the associated demonstration of
rapid evolution, observable on a time scale of months to years, were an acclaimed novelty in …

Post-polyploid diploidization associated with descending dysploidy and interspecific
introgression drives plant genome evolution by unclear mechanisms. Raphanus is an …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …

A series of toxicity bioassays was conducted to monitor the ecotoxicity of soils in the different
phases of bioremediation. Artificially oil-contaminated soil was inoculated with a petroleum …

Legumes are one of the most economically important and biodiverse families in plants
recognised as the basis to develop functional foods. Among these, the Vigna genus stands …

Hybridization between crops and their wild relatives has the potential to introduce novel
variation into wild populations. Camelina (Camelina sativa) is a promising oilseed and …

Crop breeding programs are reliant on the genetic diversity of varieties and germplasm
collections. Raphanus sativus L. is a root crop species of the Brassicaceae family that …

" One of the most spectacular facets of the newer studies of evolution has been the
demonstration that evolution has not proceeded by slow, even steps but that seen in the …

Cannabis sativa has been domesticated for stem fibre and oilseed (the two classes are both
low in the euphoric cannabinoid THC and called “hemp”), and marijuana (high in THC), and …
