Extended Data Table 1 Range of variation in leaf ecophysiological traits and summary of data compilation

From: Early human selection of crops’ wild progenitors explains the acquisitive physiology of modern cultivars

  1. The table shows the five ecophysiological traits studied, their abbreviation, unit and range of variation, the number of individual observations and studies, and the number of domesticates (D), crops’ wild progenitors (P) and wild species (W) in the global dataset. The total number of species does not equal the sum of domesticates, crops’ wild progenitors, and wild plants, as many crops and their wild progenitors belong to the same species.
