Abstract
Starting with the wild plant''s area of natural distribution, an attempt is made to trace the development and distribution of domesticated plants from the beginnings of agriculture to modern times. Grain crops are the principal subjects of the paper, but mention is also made of flax, grapes, peas and various crops of lesser economic importance.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
