Parallel selection on a dormancy gene during domestication of crops from multiple families.
I am working on testing hypothesis referring domestication under multiple species, and interestingly finding a paper talked about it. A dormancy gene that was selected during domestication of multiple crop species. A key word learnt from this paper which will be very useful and I am unsure before is “Domesticated species often exhibit convergent phenotypic evolution, termed the domestication syndrome, of which loss of seed dormancy is a component.”. Also, it recapitulated important concepts in evolutionary study of parallel evolution, convergent evolution and divergent evolution.
