Archaeological Evidence for Peach (Prunus persica) Cultivation and Domestication in China

“…Here, ABC analyses based on a larger sample from Eastern Asia could not distinguish between scenarios in which Chinese cultivated apricots would have derive independently from the yellow Central Asian wild genetic cluster or would result from hybridization between this yellow P. armeniaca cluster and the green P. sibirica cluster. Our results are in accordance with historical evidence from the ancient Chinese literature that indicate the cultivation of apricots during the Tang and Song dynasties (739–1,400 ya), which is posterior to our estimates of apricot domestication in China (Chen, ; Zhu, Zhang, Cai, & Wang, ), together with other stone fruits, such as peach (Zheng, Crawford, & Chen, ), almond and cherry (Spengler et al, ). Again, the inferred dates of domestication had very large confidence intervals and should be considered with great caution.…”

“…According to the results, we first determined that the landraces originating from the middle and low reaches of the Changjiang River have a distant genetic relationship with other landraces in China. This finding is similar to a previous study from our laboratory, which demonstrated that the middle and low reaches of the Changjiang River had the highest genetic diversity among six populations and should hence be presumed as the landrace origin [7, 32] and an archeological study also proved it [33]. However, it is different from other studies that suggested Northwest China [34, 35], the YGC [34], and NC [36] were the origin centers of landraces.…”

“…Based on physical characteristics of peach stones and kernels can be seen that promising hybrids have higher stone and kernel weight compared to vineyard peach genotypes and standard cultivars, which indicates an additive effect in the hybridization of peaches. Similar finding were reported by Zheng et al [17] where cultivated peach stones differ from those of its known wild relatives in being significantly larger and less spherical. However, vineyard peaches have a higher weight fraction of kernel in the stone weight compared to other cultivars/hybrids (in standard cultivars kernel accounts for 3.8% of the stone weight; while in promising hybrids, it was 5.1% and in vineyard peach 9%).…”
