We use the molecular data available for the plant genera currently distributed in the
Canaries to propose a hypothetical framework that updates the Surfing Syngameon …

With the development of next-generation sequencing technology, the amount of date palm
(Phoenix dactylifera L.) genomic data has grown rapidly and yielded new insights into this …

Abstract Background and Aims Date palms (Phoenix dactylifera, Arecaceae) are of great
economic and ecological value to the oasis agriculture of arid and semi-arid areas …

For many crops, wild relatives constitute an extraordinary resource for cultivar improvement
[1, 2] and also help to better understand the history of their domestication [3]. However, the …

Germination of 2000-year-old seeds of Phoenix dactylifera from Judean desert
archaeological sites provides a unique opportunity to study the Judean date palm, described …

This paper asks whether we can identify a recurrent domestication syndrome for tree crops
(fruits, nuts) and track archaeologically the evolution of domestication of fruits from woody …

Investigating crop origins is a priority to understand the evolution of plants under
domestication, develop strategies for conservation and valorization of agrobiodiversity and …

The genus Phoenix (Arecaceae, Coryphoideae, Phoeniceae) comprises 14 species widely
distributed in the Old World subtropics and tropics west of Wallace's line. The identity of …

The biogeography of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), the origin, structure and
dynamics of its agrobiodiversity, and the relationships to other species of Phoenix are …

Among different perennial fruit crops, the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a major and
