Abstract

We review some concepts and methods of handling and using DNA fingerprinting in phylogenetic analyses related to crop domestication. Particular reference is made to AFLP markers and mode and place of einkorn, barley, and tetraploid wheat domestication in the Neolithic by human communities in the Fertile Crescent. The reconsideration of AFLP databases of domesticated and wild lines demonstrates that phylogenetic tree topologies, originally described for the three species, match closely the new results obtained by principle coordinate analyse.
