“…The specificities of the domestication process in perennials are partly due to clonal propagation and long juvenile phases, that both reduce the number of sexual cycles separating domesticated individuals from their wild progenitors (Gaut et al, 2015;Miller & Gross, 2011). Recent studies have corroborated such expectations by documenting the domestication history of several perennial crops, in particular of tree species cultivated for fruit consumption (Besnard et al, 2013(Besnard et al, , 2017Cornille et al, 2012;Decroocq et al, 2016;Delplancke et al, 2013;Gros-Balthazard et al, 2017;Gross & Olsen, 2010;Hazzouri et al, 2015;Wincker, 2013) or ornamental purposes (Iwata, Kato, & Ohno, 2000;Liorzou et al, 2016;Yuan, Cornille, Giraud, Cheng, & Hu, 2014). These studies also revealed that domestication in fruit trees often involved gene flow from multiple wild species in different geographic areas, such as in citrus (Wu et al, 2018), apple (Cornille et al, 2012), olive (Besnard et al, 2017), peach (Yu et al, 2018), banana (Martin et al, 2017) and date palm (Flowers et al, 2019).…”
