“…Consequently, different populations may present different modifications due to selection, which Clement (1999) organized along a continuum from incipiently domesticated to semi-domesticated to domesticated. At the origin of domestication, incipient domesticates exhibit small differences from the local wild populations and hybridize freely with them, inhibiting changes due to human selection (Miller and Gross, 2011), just as observed by Saldías-Paz (1993). As the incipiently domesticated populations become more useful, their numbers increase in anthropogenic landscapes, permitting greater responses to selection.…”

Origin and Dispersal of Domesticated Peach Palm

et al. 2017

Peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is a Neotropical palm domesticated by Native Americans. Its domestication resulted in a set of landraces (var. gasipaes), some with very starchy fruit used for fermentation, others with an equilibrium of starch and oil used as snacks. Which of the three wild types (var. chichagui) was involved and where the domestication process began are unclear, with three hypotheses under discussion: an origin in southwestern Amazonia; or in northwestern South America; or multiple origins. We reevaluate one of the wild types, defining it as the incipient domesticate, and then evaluate these hypotheses using the Brazilian peach palm Core Collection and selected herbaria samples to: (1) model the potential distributions of wild and domesticated populations; (2) identify the probable origin of domestication with a phylogeographic analysis of chloroplast DNA sequences; and (3) determine the dispersal routes after domestication using spatial analysis of genetic diversity based on 17 nuclear microsatellite loci. The two very small-fruited wild types have distinct distributions in the northern Andes region and across southern Amazonia, both under moderately humid climates, while the incipient domesticate, partly sympatric with the southern wild type, is also found along the Equatorial Andes, in a more humid climatic envelope, more similar to that of the domesticated landraces. Two distribution models for Last Glacial Maximum conditions (CCSM4, MIROC) also suggest distinct distributions for the two wild populations. The chloroplast DNA phylogeographic network confirms the area of sympatry of the incipient domesticate and the southern wild type in southwestern Amazonia as the origin of domestication. The spatial patterns of genetic diversity confirm the proposal of two dispersals, one along the Ucayali River, into western Amazonia, northwestern South America and finally Central America; the other along the Madeira River into central and then eastern Amazonia. The first dispersal resulted in very starchy fruit for fermentation, while the second may have been later and resulted in snack fruits. Further explorations of southwestern Amazonia are essential for more precise identification of the earliest events, both with new archeological methods and genetic analyses with larger samples.

“…This high-quality pummelo genome together with the three draft genomes of citron, papeda and atalantia constitute a valuable platform for citrus genetic and genomic research. Change in the reproductive system is one of the striking features in the evolution and domestication of fruit crops 35 . Consistent with this observation, the sequence analysis of the six genomes that included primitive, wild and cultivated citrus indicated frequent variations in flowering-and seed-related genes, such as CKX 21 .…”

Genomic analyses of primitive, wild and cultivated citrus provide insights into asexual reproduction

et al. 2017

The emergence of apomixis-the transition from sexual to asexual reproduction-is a prominent feature of modern citrus. Here we de novo sequenced and comprehensively studied the genomes of four representative citrus species. Additionally, we sequenced 100 accessions of primitive, wild and cultivated citrus. Comparative population analysis suggested that genomic regions harboring energy- and reproduction-associated genes are probably under selection in cultivated citrus. We also narrowed the genetic locus responsible for citrus polyembryony, a form of apomixis, to an 80-kb region containing 11 candidate genes. One of these, CitRWP, is expressed at higher levels in ovules of polyembryonic cultivars. We found a miniature inverted-repeat transposable element insertion in the promoter region of CitRWP that cosegregated with polyembryony. This study provides new insights into citrus apomixis and constitutes a promising resource for the mining of agriculturally important genes.

“…Citrus domestication probably began with the identification and asexual propagation of selected, possibly hybrid or admixed individuals, rather than recurrent selection from a breeding population as for annual crops 37,38 . Additional diversity was obtained by capturing somatic mutations that occur within a relatively few basic genotypes.…”

Gmitter Jr 5 , Daniel S. rokhsar 1,9,10 & Manuel Talon 2The genus Citrus and related genera (Fortunella, Poncirus, Eremocitrus and Microcitrus) belong to the angiosperm subfamily Aurantioideae of the Rutaceae family, which is widely distributed across the monsoon region from west Pakistan to north-central China and south through the East Indian Archipelago to New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, northeastern Australia, New Caledonia, Melanesia and the western Polynesian islands 1 . Native habitats of citrus and related genera roughly extend throughout this broad area (Extended Data Fig. 1a and Supplementary Table 1), although the geogra phical origin, timing and dispersal of citrus species across southeast Asia remain unclear. A major obstacle to resolving these uncertainties is our poor understanding of the genealogy of complex admixture in cultivated citrus, as has recently been shown 2 . Some citrus are clonally propagated apomictically 3 through nucellar embryony, that is, the development of non-sexual embryos originating in the maternal nucellar tissue of the ovule, and this natural process may have been co-opted during domestication; grafting is a relatively recent phenomenon 4 . Both modes of clonal propagation have led to the domestication of fixed (desirable) genotypes, including interspecific hybrids, such as oranges, limes, lemons, grapefruits and other types.Under this scenario, it is not surprising that the current chaotic citrus taxonomy-based on long-standing, conflicting proposals 5,6 -requires a solid reformulation consistent with a full understanding of the hybrid and/or admixture nature of cultivated citrus species. Here we analyse genome sequences of diverse citrus to characterize the diversity and evolution of citrus at the species level and identify citrus admixtures and interspecific hybrids. We further examine the network of relatedness among mandarins and sweet orange, as well as the pattern of the introgression of pummelos among mandarins for clues to the early stages of citrus domestication. Diversity and evolution of the genus CitrusTo investigate the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of citrus, we analysed the genomes of 58 citrus accessions and two outgroup genera (Poncirus and Severinia) that were sequenced to high coverage, including recently published sequences 2,3,7 as well as 30 new genome sequences described here. For our purpose, we do not include accessions related by somatic mutations. These sequences represent a diverse sampling of citrus species, their admixtures and hybrids (Supplementary Tables 2, 3 and Supplementary Notes 1, 2). Our collection includes accessions from eight previously unsequ...
