	Domestication
		Domesticated animals, plants, and other organisms are those whose collective behavior, life cycle, or physiology has been altered as a result of their breeding and living conditions being under human control for multiple generations.
		Hybrids can be wild, domesticated, or both: a liger is a hybrid of two wild animals, a mule is a hybrid of two domesticated animals, and a beefalo is a cross between a wild and a domestic animal.
		The first domestic animal was probably the dog, possibly as early as 10000 BC in the Natufian culture of the Levant.

		Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, and fiber by cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated animals.
		Domestication of plants is made in order to increase yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, ease of harvest, and to improve the taste and nutritional value and many other characteristics.
		Plant breeders use greenhouses and other techniques to get as many as three generations of plants per year, so that they can make improvements all the more quickly.

		Domestic terrorism is a phrase used to describe some acts of political violence within a state that are carried out or commissioned by forces inside or originating from that state, as opposed to external attacks.
		Examples of recent domestic terrorism are the Oklahoma City bombing, the Atlanta Olympics pipebombing, the Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, and David Copeland's nailbombing campaign against ethnic minorities and gays in London.

		The banana is a large treelike plant with a perennial root from which the plant is perpetuated by sprouts or suckers.
		In most groups of flowering plants, the phloem (food-conducting cells) is located outside the xylem (water-conducting cells) but in the Myrtales, it is the other way around with the phloem on the inside near the pith in the stems.
		Plants of this genus are terrestrial and have elongated stems, fully developed roots, leaves with narrow petioles (leafstalks), and hairs that retard water loss by providing a dense covering.

		Though there is evidence of earlier use of wild cereals, it wasn't until after 9,500 B.C. that the eight so-called founder crops of agriculture appear: first emmer and einkorn wheat, then hulled barley, peas, lentils, bitter vetch, chick peas and flax.
		Evidence suggests that Maize was first domesticated in the Americas around 3000-2700 B.C. The potato, the tomato, the pepper, squash, several varieties of bean, and several other plants were also developed in the New World, as was extensive terracing of steep hillsides in much of Andean South America.
		The most widely used modification is a herbicide resistance gene that allows plants to tolerate exposure to glyphosate, which is used to control weeds in the crop.

	List of domesticated animals Summary
		Domestic animals also tend to appear quite different from their wild ancestors, as animal breeders selected them for a variety of idiosyncratic traits in order to identify them easily as property.
		This is a list of animals that have been domesticated by humans.
		To be considered domesticated, a population of animals must have their behavior, life cycle, or physiology systemically altered as a result of being under humans control for many generations.

	Agriculture \| Topic Definition \| Find the Meaning and Define the Answer of Agriculture
		Archaeobotanists have identified that the cultivation and selection of specific characteristics such as a semi-tough rachis and larger seeds (such that there were genetic changes in the plants) took place soon after the Younger Dryas in the early Holocene in the Levant region of the Fertile Crescent.
		There is earlier evidence: for example grains of rye with domestic traits have been recovered from Epi-Palaeolithic contexts at Abu Hureyra in Syria, but this appears to be a localised phenomenon resulting from cultivation of stands of wild rye, rather than a definitive step towards domestication.
		Most certainly there was a gradual transition from a hunter-gatherer economy to an agricultural one via a lengthy period when some crops were deliberately planted and other foods were gathered from the wild.

		Increasingly, besides food for humans and animal feeds, agriculture produces goods such as cut flowers, ornamental and nursery plants, fertilizers, animal hides, leather, industrial chemicals (starch, ethanol, and plastics), fibers (cotton, wool, hemp, and flax), fuels (methane, biodiesel, biomass), and both legal and illegal drugs (biopharmaceuticals, tobacco, marijuana, opium, cocaine).
		The practice of agriculture is often used to distinguish the neolithic period from earlier parts of the stone age.
		Domestication of plants is done in order to increase yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, ease of harvest, and to improve the taste and nutritional value and many other characteristics.

		The domestication of the soya bean began in China, at least 3.000 years ago, when farmers in the eastern half of northern China started planting the fl or brown seeds of a wild recumbent vine.
		Why they did this is unclear; plants that lie on the ground are hard to cultivate, and the seeds of the wild soya bean are tiny, hard, and, unless properly prepared, indigestible.
		Soya beans are grown as a row crop, planted in May or June, and harvested with a grain combine in the fall.

	Use and potential of wild plants in farm households
		The term is contrasted with "cultivated" or "domesticated" plants or plant species that have arisen through human action, such as selection or breeding, and that depend on management for their continued existence.
		For example, many of the plant species of the Mayan home gardens are native wild species of the Yucatán peninsula, mainly tall trees that are left to stand when the forest is cut down to establish a new home garden.
		Moreover, these plants may grow spontaneously from seeds or other propagules that are either already present in the home garden or naturally dispersed in the home garden from the nearby forest or from neighbouring home gardens.

		Why they did this is unclear; plants that lie on the ground are hard to cultivate, and the seeds of the wild soya bean are tiny, hard, and, unless properly prepared, indigestible.
		The soya bean plant supports colonies of micro-organisms that return rent in the form of soil-enriching nitrogen; this was an important point in a civilization that had been farming many of the same fields for thousands of years.
