Fruit morphological and anatomical characteristics are essential in the taxonomy of Apiaceae. Daucus L. is one most important genera family Apiaceae, as it contains cultivated carrot, a crop great economic importance, about 40 wild species that could serve potential sources genetic diversity for improvement. However, taxonomic phylogenetic relationships among these have not yet been fully clari...

1 Grain amaranth is a pseudo-cereal and an ancient crop of Central and South America. Of the 2 three species of grain amaranth, Amaranthus caudatus is mainly grown in the Andean region. 3 Several models of domestication were proposed including a domestication from the wild rela4 tives A. hybridus or A. quitensis. To investigate the domestication history of A. caudatus and 5 its relationship to ...

Wild plant species related to crop plants form an important source of useful traits for fruit quality improvement and biotic abiotic stress tolerance. Wide hybridization involving wild relatives taxa has gained momentum in the recent programs. It breaks barrier gene transfer makes it possible genome one another, which results changes genotypes phenotypes progenies. The incompatibilities or barr...
