Abstract
Natural selection does not lead to optimal solutions due to trade-offs and environmental variation, genetic and developmental constraints, and historical contingency. In this paper we propose that constraints like these also often apply to the improvement of both crop varieties and management practices, creating a dual biological and agronomic barrier for the optimisation of crops. We discuss constraints on optimisation of 1) crop ancestors, by...
