The purpose of this chapter is to explain how wheat originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East, and how knowledge of wheats ancestors informs strategies for continued improvement of the cultivated crop.

It is distributed throughout the Near Eastern Fertile Crescent, including the modern countries of Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, eastern Turkey, western Iran, and northern Iraq.

We examined 9844 ancient charred spikelets from four archaeological sites located in northern Syria and southeastern Turkey dating between 10,200 and 6500 yr B.P. These lines can be grown and evaluated like normal wheat in hopes of finding improvements in qualitative or quantitative traits due to the inserted synthetic hexaploid segments.

According to French botanist Agathe Roucou and colleagues, the domestication process also caused multiple changes in the plant that were generated indirectly. There is much evidence that domesticated wheat was widely used in the Levant until about 10,400 years ago, but when this began is still open to debate.

From a wild Asian grass to a refined crop that is the staple diet of half the world's population, the domestication of Oryza sativa spans centuries, but the grain's ancestry is hotly contested. Human history was transformed with the advent of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent with wheat as one of the founding crops. Cultivation of this species usually involves flooded conditions in paddies, although it is also grown in upland regions.

CAS This was elegantly demonstrated by John Bennet Lawes in the 1880s when he decided to allow part of the famous long-term Broadbalk experiment at Rothamsted to return to its natural state ().He therefore left part of the wheat crop unharvested in 1882 and . But additional experiments run by British evolutionary geneticist Robin Allaby and preliminarily reported in Watson (2018) have shown that ancient DNA from undersea sediments is more pristine than that from other contexts.

Domestication of wheat started with the dawn of human civilization. According to French botanist Agathe Roucou and colleagues, the domestication process also caused multiple changes in the plant that were generated indirectly. When wild wheat ripens, the stems, the part that holds the wheat stems together, break down so that the seeds can self-pollinate and sprout faster without the husk.

Wheat domestication involves a limited number of chromosome regions, or domestication syndrome factors, though many relevant quantitative trait loci have been detected.

The domestication of wheat around 10,000 years ago marked a dramatic turn in the development and evolution of human civilization, as it enabled the transition from a hunter-gatherer and nomadic pastoral society to a more sedentary agrarian one. While there is evidence that the inclusion of wheat and wild grains has expanded peoples diets, some scientists say there is no evidence that these plants were deliberately planted. Ancient wheat varieties have a coordination between aboveground and underground workings, but because of the characteristics that humans prefer, the plant has reshaped itself and established new networks.
