Summary of examples of genetic, agronomic, and cultural change for plant domestication projects discussed in this article.

Example	Genetic	Agronomic	Cultural
‘Akkoub (Gundelia tournefortii)	Very few accessions have been collected by gene banks	A few gardeners are beginning to cultivate it	Enthusiastically harvested from the wild for home use and for sale as a vegetable and medicinal; at risk of overharvesting and habitat loss; access to habitat increasingly restricted
Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpum)	Superior wild genotypes are still being clonally propagated; breeding programs are relatively new	Farmers have been constructing and irrigating bogs for about 100 years; advances in management and harvesting techniques increased yield and reduced costs	Indigenous peoples have long harvested fruit from wild bogs and have cultural knowledge about its culinary and medicinal value; colonists appropriated this knowledge and developed additional uses and markets
Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium)	Introduced as a forage and improved varieties released since the 1940s; recurrent selection for use as a cereal grain is ongoing	Agronomic research resulted in recommendations for forage management; grain production research is ongoing	Few people know this species but new breakfast cereal and beer products are being marketed under the Kernza name to increase awareness
Silphium (Silphium integrifolium)	Recurrent selection for seeds per head and other agronomic traits for the past 20 years	Not cultivated until breeding program began; a few small agronomic studies have been published	Indigenous knowledge and medicinal and cultural use, but no documented use as a food; civic science pilot project recently initiated
Currant tomato (Solanum pimpinellifolium)	CRISPR/Cas9 editing of 6 genes
