Accumulation of mutations in genes associated with sexual reproduction contributed to the domestication of a vegetatively propagated staple crop, enset.

The paper analyzes genetic differences between wild and cultivated enset to show that domestication reduced sexual reproduction traits through vegetative propagation.

Barley yield formation under abiotic stress depends on the interplay between flowering time genes and environmental cues

The paper shows that flowering time genes in barley affect yield under abiotic stress, with environmental cues modulating their effects, and suggests using wild barley genes to improve yield in crops.
