  1. Most explanations focus on particular traits, while neglecting others, or on the possible selective factors involved in domestication rather than the underlying developmental and genetic causes of these traits. Here, we propose that the domestication syndrome results predominantly from mild neural crest cell deficits during embryonic development.

  4. Domestication syndrome refers to two sets of phenotypic traits that are common to either domesticated plants [1] [2] or domesticated animals. [3] Domesticated animals tend to be smaller and less aggressive than their wild counterparts, they may also have floppy ears, variations to coat color, a smaller brain, and a shorter muzzle.

  5. Aggression—along with its opposite, given selection for docility in domestication—is a key behavioural factor in "domestication syndrome." Aggressive behaviour is frequent in SZ, and may be ...

  6. Jul 19, 2021 · The term “domestication syndrome” has been applied for about four decades to a set of correlated changes in “domesticated” plants, namely crop plants. We use it to refer to a suite of changes in mammals and birds—but which probably occurs in vertebrates including fishes—that distinguish many different domesticated animals from their ...

  7. Jun 3, 2019 · Domesticated animals vary profoundly in their basic ecology and domestication history (e.g. cats 58), and together with the continuous subjection to strong, species-specific and human-induced ...

  8. Mar 9, 2011 · A second key domestication trait was the six-rowed spike, since this is able to set three times as many grains as the wild type two-rowed spike. In this review, we describe the state of knowledge regarding these two key barley domestication genes and discuss the potential applications of this knowledge in the wider context of crop improvement.
