| Sumario: | Glucose is preferentially stored as starch in plants. Thus, the remains of such
polysaccharide may represent an invaluable source of archaeological evidence.
The genomics, proteomics and metabolomics pathways can be also exploited to
ascertain key events in phylogenetic processes. This includes the
reconstruction of polyploidization events in plants and the identification of
taxonomic positions. These developments are particularly relevant for the study
of selection, evolution and domestication events of microorganisms, plants and
animals. They include the adaptation to such food resource and the study of
paleodiets and their implications for ancient and modern animals, including
humans |
