Preface
The first Agricultural Revolution, that is, the initial transition from hunting and gathering to settled agriculture, is considered by many to have begun around 12,000 years ago. Since then, humans have domesticated hundreds of plant species and it is considered that the evolution of crop plants took place as human behavioral ecology changed from food gathering to farming. Domestication of wild species of plants comprises a variety of evolutionary changes (phenotypic and genetic divergence among domesticated populations) that may diminish the fitness of a plant in the wild but increase it under human exploitation. Thereafter, the selection of populations with desirable alleles, the m
