Genomic analysis reveals rich genetic variation and potential targets of selection during domestication of castor bean from perennial woody tree to annual semi‐woody crop

Abstract Relatively, little is known about the genetic variation of woody trees during domestication. Castor bean (Ricinus communis L. Euphorbiaceae) is a commercially important nonedible annual oilseed crop and differs from its wild progenitors that have a perennial woody habit. Although castor bea...
