People in some regions of the world still lose a lot of their crop because the grains fall off too easily. There's a lot of time and energy that goes into taking care of these crops, so you want to make sure at the end you don't lose a lot of it.
Several hundred hours were spent in the greenhouses where we had to shake the plants and record the various degrees of shattering. Even with all the advances in technology, a careful firsthand observation proves to be essential for biological research.
This technical innovation will greatly speed up genetic research for plants since it saved us time and money, yet delivered accurate results.
What we can learn from historical plant domestication will benefit our ongoing and future effort to domesticate energy crops that will be equally important to the long-term sustainability of our society. It is remarkable how the earliest farmers could have selected a single mutation in DNA to develop a major food crop of the world.
