From: New insights into domestication of carrot from root transcriptome analyses

Figure 2

Illustration of the domestication model. The effective population size of wild carrot (N W ) is constant. Carrot domestication started T B  + T generations ago. The size of domestication bottleneck is N B and the duration of the bottleneck is T B . Afterwards, the effective population size of cultivated carrot increased exponentially. After T generations, cultivated carrot has a present population size of N C . During the past T generations, gene flow occurred between cultivated and wild carrots. The migration rate from cultivated to wild carrot is m WC and that from wild to cultivated carrot is m CW .
