We quantified 11–57 traits across 13 plant species (wild and domesticated forms), including both shared and species-specific traits. Near-infrared (NIR) spectral signatures allow us to control for sampling effects across species.

We also observe a progressive decoupling of trait correlations with increasing time since domestication. Overall, results point to general evolutionary rules shaping crop phenotypic spaces. This study was designed as a low-cost, low-carbon comparative approach.

We find convergence across species. Most species show a reduction of multivariate phenotypic space under domestication. We introduce a multivariate phenotypic divergence index (mPDI) to quantify and rank divergence between wild and domestic forms.

Results show: strong disjunction between wild and crop phenotypic spaces; no effect of domestication timing or mating system on mPDI.

Creasey, Petrov & Tauber analyze the evolution of 11 core clock proteins across 65 Drosophila species, finding that the circadian clock network does not impose strong constraints on the evolution of its components.
