Abstract

Understanding crop domestication provides a basis for ongoing genetic improvement of crops, especially in the utilization of wild crop relatives as a source of new variation and may guide the domestication of new crops. The Asia Pacific region is home to most of the world's human population and is a region in which many important crops were domesticated. Here we review the domestication of banana, citrus, coconut, macadamia, mango, millet, mungbean, rice, sugarcane and taro in the Asia Pacific region. These examples illustrate the importance of this region in the development of agriculture. The challenges of conservation of the genetic resources for these crops are exacerbated by the large human population and rapid economic development in the region. Advances in genetic technologies provide an opportunity for accelerated genetic improvement of these crops and the domestication of new crops.

亚太地区的作物驯化：综述

对作物驯化的了解为作物的持续遗传改良提供了基础，特别是在利用作物野生近缘种作为新变异来源方面，并可指导新作物的驯化。亚太地区是世界上大部分人口的居住地，也是许多重要作物被驯化的地区。在此，我们回顾了香蕉、柑橘、椰子、澳洲坚果、芒果、小米、绿豆、水稻、甘蔗和芋头在亚太地区的驯化过程。这些例子说明了该地区在农业发展中的重要性。该地区人口众多，经济发展迅速，这加剧了保护这些作物遗传资源的挑战。基因技术的进步为加快这些作物的基因改良和新作物的驯化提供了机会。
