Network Architecture of Leaf Trait Correlations Has Shifted Following Crop Domestication Cultivated crops with faster photosynthetic rate, lower leaf mass per area, and higher leaf nitrogen and phosphorus content tend to fall towards the acquisitive end of the global leaf economics spe...

Direct and interactive effects of crop domestication and mineral fertilization over leaf traits: insights from squash, maize, and beans - Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution Although crop leaf traits associated with acquisitive life strategies might largely be the result of inherence from their wild progenitors, more research is still needed to understand the roles that g...

Pleased to share a new article from my Phd student Jorge Ruiz-Arocho that examines how #cropdomestication and #nitrogen #fertilization affects #leaf traits for #maize, #beans, and #squash. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The domestication of highbush blueberries has reached new levels of gigantism. Check out these blueberries from Peru sold by Driscoll. They taste really different, so I bet they have less anthocyanins. #cropdomestication #gigantism

Domestication and the evolution of crops: variable syndromes, complex genetic architectures, and ecological entanglements A review on major themes and emerging questions in three fundamental areas of crop domestication: domestication phenotypes, genetics of crop evolution, and
