Site of Einkorn Wheat Domestication Identified by DNA Fingerprinting

The emergence of agriculture in the Near East also involved the domestication 
of einkorn wheat. Phylogenetic analysis that was based on the allelic 
frequency at 288 amplified fragment length polymorphism molecular marker loci 
indicates that a wild group of Triticum monococcum boeoticum lines from the 
Karacada mountains (southeast Turkey) is the likely progenitor of cultivated 
einkorn varieties. Evidence from archeological excavations of early 
agricultural settlements nearby supports the conclusion that domestication of 
einkorn wheat began near the Karacada mountains.
