| Popis: | We thank Renner (1) for summarizing and comparing our study (2) with that of Cui et al. (3). Renner questions the logic of our domesticated/wild classification. As already mentioned (2), without a genetic tool, plant collectors assigned the cultivar/wild status purely based on whether a plant was cultivated. However, many cultures, such as the Amis people in Taiwan, frequently consume wild vegetables and sometimes transplant them into gardens. A plant collector would record such plant as a “cultivar” despite it genetically being a wild accession (e.g., THMC170). All of our analyses followed the grouping from solid genomic evidence. We agree that a broader sampling would be beneficial, if funding permits. Cui … [↵][1]1To whom correspondence may be addressed. Email: chengrueilee{at}ntu.edu.tw. [1]: #xref-corresp-1-1 |
