“…The findings of Lu et al (2020) provide perspective and insights relevant for current breeding efforts. Recent discussions continue to highlight Stepwise selection of Tof12 and Tof11 shapes the shift to early flowering in soybean evolution.…”

“…In an exciting and significant advance in the study of soybean flowering, a new paper in Nature Genetics by Lu et al (2020) identifies two homologous pseudoresponse-regulator (PRR) genes, Tof11, and Tof12, which made sequential contributions to flowering time adaptation early in soybean crop domestication (Figure 1). These authors propose a model in which Tof11 and Tof12 physically associate with the promoters of LHY genes to suppress their expression.…”

“…Parallel comparisons of allelic frequency of Tof11 and Tof12 and other established soybean domestication genes (Lu et al 2020) indicate that a change in reproductive timing accompanied previously documented changes in dormancy and seed dispersal during domestication. Domestication‐related changes in soybean flowering time support previous studies focusing on hard seededness, seed dormancy, seed coat shininess, and pod shattering traits (Dong et al 2014; Sun et al 2015; Wang et al 2018; Zhang et al 2018), demonstrating that selection for the early‐flowering tof12‐1 allele broadly coincided with selection for alleles at the Hs1‐1 , G, and Shat1‐5 loci.…”

“…The study by Lu et al (2020) presents the first comprehensive molecular evidence that the trend toward ever‐shorter crop growth cycles, which has been persistent throughout the history of agriculture, may have extended back to the original domestication phase. It therefore appears that in some cases earlier flowering and/or maturity might indeed be legitimately viewed as “core” domestication traits.…”

Flowering time variation in soybean is well characterized within domesticated germplasms and is critical for modern production, but its importance during domestication is unclear. Recently, Lu et al. (Nature Genetics, 2020) reported that two homeologous pseudo‐response‐regulator genes, Tof12 and Tof11, were sequentially selected in early soybean evolution for ancient flowering time adaptation and intensification of crop cultivation.

Mulberry is an economically important plant in the sericulture industry and traditional medicine. However, the genetic and evolutionary history of mulberry remains largely unknown. Here, this work presents the chromosome‐level genome assembly of Morus atropurpurea (M. atropurpurea), originating from south China. Population genomic analysis using 425 mulberry accessions reveal that cultivated mulberry is classified into two species, M. atropurpurea and M. alba, which may have originated from two different mulberry progenitors and have independent and parallel domestication in north and south China, respectively. Extensive gene flow is revealed between different mulberry populations, contributing to genetic diversity in modern hybrid cultivars. This work also identifies the genetic architecture of the flowering time and leaf size. In addition, the genomic structure and evolution of sex‐determining regions are identified. This study significantly advances the understanding of the genetic basis and domestication history of mulberry in the north and south, and provides valuable molecular markers of desirable traits for mulberry breeding.
