Crop domestication vs Diversification
Domestication
- associated in some examples with selection of few key genes affecting apical dominance, seed shattering, fruit or seed size
- Most examples known affect regulators/transcription factors rather than enzymes diversification associated with many genes
Diversification
- normally associated with changes in coding sequence including enzymes
