Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

De-domestication or feralization is an interesting phenomenon in crops and livestock.
Previously, evidence for crop de-domestication was based mainly on studies using …

Tibetan wheat is grown under environmental constraints at high-altitude conditions, but its
underlying adaptation mechanism remains unknown. Here, we present a draft genome …

Background Asian rice is one of the world's most widely cultivated crops. Large-scale
resequencing analyses have been undertaken to explore the domestication and de …

Contemporary climatic stress seriously affects rice production. Unfortunately, long-term
domestication and improvement modified the phytohormones network to achieve the …

Detailed knowledge of the genetic variations in diverse crop populations forms the basis for
genetic crop improvement and gene functional studies. In the present study, we analyzed a …

Hundreds of plant species have been domesticated to feed human civilization, while some
crops have undergone de-domestication into agricultural weeds, threatening global food …

Weedy rice is a close relative of cultivated rice that devastates rice productivity worldwide. In
the southern United States, two distinct strains have been historically predominant, but the …

Agricultural weeds descended from domesticated ancestors, directly from crops
(endoferality) and/or from crop–wild hybridization (exoferality), may have evolutionary …

Weeds, plants that thrive in the face of disturbance, have eluded human's attempts at control
for> 12 000 years, positioning them as a unique group of extreme stress tolerators. The most …
