As a major event in human civilization, wild plants were successfully domesticated to be crops, largely owing to continuing artificial selection. Here, we summarize new discoveries made during the past decade in crop domestication and breeding. The construction of crop genome maps and the functional characterization of numerous trait genes provide foundational information. Approaches to read, interpret, and write complex genetic information are being leveraged in many plants for highly efficient de novo or re-domestication. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of crop microevolution and applying the knowledge to agricultural productions will give possible solutions for future challenges in food security.
作为人类文明的重大事件，野生植物成功地被驯化为作物，这主要归功于持续的人工选择。在这里，我们总结了过去十年在作物驯化和育种方面的新发现。作物基因组图谱的构建和大量性状基因的功能表征提供了基础信息。在许多植物中，读取、解释和编写复杂遗传信息的方法正在被用于高效的从头驯化或再驯化。理解作物微进化的潜在机制并将这些知识应用于农业生产，将为未来粮食安全挑战提供可能的解决方案。
