Targeted re-sequencing reveals the genetic signatures and the reticulate history of barley domestication

چکیده
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the Neolithic founder crops of the early agricultural societies. The circumstances of its domestication and genomic signatures that underlie barley transition from a weed to a crop remain obscure. We explored genomic variation in a diversity set of 433 wild and domesticated barley accessions using targeted re-sequencing that generated a genome-wide panel of 544,318 high-quality SNPs. We observed a ~50% reduction of genetic diversity in domesticated compared to wild barley and diversity patterns indicative of a strong domestication bottleneck. Selection scans discovered multiple selective sweep regions associated with domestication. The top candidate domestication genes have been implicated in the regulation of light signaling, circadian clock, hormone and carbohydrate metabolism. Phylogeographic analyses revealed a mosaic ancestry of the domestication-related loci, which originated from nine wild barley populations. This indicates that recurrent introgression and selection of wild alleles apparently shaped the domesticated gene pool, which supports a protracted domestication model. .

متن کاملMolecular evidence of RNA polymerase II gene reveals the origin of worldwide cultivated barley
The origin and domestication of cultivated barley have long been under debate. A population-based resequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the single copy of RPB2 gene was used to address barley domestication, to explore genetic differentiation of barley populations on the worldwide scale, and to understand gene-pool exchanges during the spread and subsequent development of barley cultivation....

Human driven selection during domestication and subsequent breed formation has likely left detectable signatures within the genome of modern cattle. The elucidation of these signatures of selection is of interest from the perspective of evolutionary biology, and for identifying domestication-related genes that ultimately may help to further genetically improve this economically important animal...
متن کاملCo-evolution of methods and thoughts in cereal domestication studies: a tale of barley (Hordeum vulgare).
Five major cereals such as wheat, rice, maize, barley and sorghum were among the first Neolithic crops that facilitated the establishment of the early agricultural societies. Since then they have remained the staple source of calories for the majority of the human population. Ample archaeological and molecular evidence has provided important insights into the domestication history of cereals bu...
