Abstract

Highlights

  • The process of crop domestication was based on selection driven by human cultivation practices and agricultural environments, as well as other population genetic processes such as a reduction in effective population size

  • Current advances in molecular technologies, of genome sequencing, provide evidence of human selection acting on numerous loci during and after crop domestication

  • Domestication implies the action of selective sweeps on standing genetic variation, as well as new genetic variation introduced via mutation or introgression
