Genetic and molecular regulation of fruit and plant domestication

Domestication traits often seem to be controlled by independent mutations at orthologous loci (Paterson et al., 1995), although this observation does not hold true in all cases (Li and Gill, 2006). The lack of detailed genome sequences and functional analysis of genes at the selected loci limits a t ...
