~ 25 - 30 mya
domesticated fungal cultivars in Central/North America
what happened to grain size under pre-domestication cultivation
grain size increased
what is the breeders equation and what do the parts stand for
R = h²S
r = response to selection
difference between mean of population before selection and mean of offspring
h2 = narrow - sense heritability
proportion of trait variation → additive genetic effects
S = selectional differential
difference between mean of population and mean of population that reproduces
what was the silver fox experiment
selection towards tameness
successful after 6 generations
