Article Synopsis
- The apple is a key global fruit crop and serves as a model for studying the evolution and domestication of crops that are grown for multiple seasons.
- Research using various scientific approaches has tracked the history and speed at which apples have been cultivated across Eurasia.
- Combining archeobotanical studies with genetics can reveal important traits that contributed to apple domestication, which could enhance modern apple breeding methods.
Effectiveness of different pre-treatments in recovering pre-burial isotopic ratios of charred plants.
Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom
February 2018
Rationale: Isotopic analysis of archaeological charred plant remains offers useful archaeological information. However, adequate sample pre-treatment protocols may be necessary to provide a contamination-free isotopic signal while limiting sample loss and achieving a high throughput. Under these constraints, research was undertaken to compare the performance of different pre-treatment protocols.
