Our fruits, vegetables, and cereal crops stem from a wild ancestor and have undergone major changes through millennia of domestication and selection. There are various ways to reveal plant diversity over time, and one of these is through the combination of art history and genetics (also known as #ArtGenetics). Here, we discuss this approach from the art historian's point of view and flag the advantages and caveats of such an approach. We also advocate for the development of an integrated, global art database to facilitate such analyses.
我们的水果、蔬菜和谷类作物都起源于野生祖先，并在数千年的驯化和选择过程中经历了重大变化。揭示植物多样性随时间变化的方法有很多种，其中一种是通过艺术史与遗传学的结合（也称为#艺术遗传学）。在此，我们从艺术史学家的角度讨论这种方法，并指出这种方法的优点和注意事项。我们还主张开发一个综合的全球艺术数据库，以促进此类分析。
