2. Figure 1 The domestication syndrome.
(A) Conversion of teosinte to maize ear involved a change from a few small, loosely connected seeds with thick fruitcases to a large maize cob with many naked seeds (photo by Hugh Iltis). (B) Loss of seed shattering during rice domestication. (C) Fruit size increase in tomato. (D) Loss of branching in sunflower leading to a single, large flower head per plant. Photos B, C and D from Doebley et al. (2006). The molecular genetics of crop domestication. Cell 127, 1309–1321.

3. Figure 2 Evolution of domestication traits.
Schematic process of the evolution of domestication traits, such as fruit abscission in apples or seed size in rice. Most traits are quantitative, showing variation in both wild and domesticated taxa. Adaptation from this standing genetic variation often results in gradual change over time, reflected in steadily decreasing variation for the trait.
