Future directions of domestication research. The study of crop evolution will continue to rely on the population genetic analysis of diversity panels comprising domesticates and their wild relatives. If well-preserved archaeobotanical remains are available, ancient samples can serve as a time-capsule informing about past demography of a crop. Moreover, new approaches such as epigenomics and gene editing will enrich the toolbox of domestication research.
