Plant domestication, at least in cereals, is associated with the loss of the shattering allele. In such species, grains are manually harvested and threshed, leaving behind naked seeds. This could have led to the loss of maternally borne seed microbiomes and their associated benefits in modern-day domesticated species.

脱粒场：母性种子微生物组的墓地？

至少在谷物中的植物驯化与破碎等位基因的丢失有关。在这种物种中，谷物是人工收获和脱粒的，留下了裸露的种子。这可能导致母本传播的种子微生物组的丧失及其在现代驯化物种中的相关利益。
