Adaptation and the Geographic Spread of Crop Species.
Crops are plant species that were domesticated starting about 11,000 years ago from several centers of origin, most prominently the Fertile Crescent, East Asia, and Mesoamerica. From their domestication centers, these crops spread across the globe and had to adapt to differing environments as a result of this dispersal. We...Gutaker, Rafal M. ; Purugganan, Michael D.

Genome analysis traces regional dispersal of rice in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
The dispersal of rice (Oryza sativa) following domestication influenced massive social and cultural changes across South, East, and Southeast Asia. The history of dispersal across islands of Southeast Asia, and the role of Taiwan and the Austronesian expansion in this process remain largely unresolved. Here, we reconstructed the routes of...Alam, Ornob ; Gutaker, Rafal M. ; Wu, Cheng-chieh ; Hicks, Karen A. ; Bocinsky, Kyle …
