Génetica evolutiva del proceso de domesticación en plantas

Studies about the incipient domestication in plants often have based their analysis on morphological characteristics and have attributed those changes to the actions of artificial human selection. This paper remarks the importance of the analysis of incipient domestication in plants using the theoretical and methodological framework of both quantitative and population genetics. The premise of this work is that, considering domestication as an evolutionary process, much knowledge can be gained regarding the phenotypic change, its constraints, and the evolutionary mechanisms that have molded the genetic constitution of plant populations under domestication.
