Evolution of crop species: genetics of domestication and diversification
Domestication is a good model for the study of evolutionary processes because of the recent
evolution of crop species (< 12,000 years ago), the key role of selection in their origins, and …

Association between seed dormancy and pericarp color is controlled by a pleiotropic gene that regulates abscisic acid and flavonoid synthesis in weedy red rice
Seed dormancy has been associated with red grain color in cereal crops for a century. The
association was linked to qSD7-1/qPC7, a cluster of quantitative trait loci for seed …
