After domestication in the Near East around 10,000 years ago several founder crops spread and adapted to European latitudes. On reaching northerly latitudes the architecture of domesticated flax changed becoming more suitable to fiber production over oil, with longer stems, smaller seeds and fewer axillary branches. Latitudinal adaptations in crops typically result in changes in flowering time, often involving the PEBP family of genes that also have the potential to influence plant architecture. We identify PEBP family genes in the flax genome, describe molecular diversity of two loci,LuTFL1andLuTFL2in wild and cultivated flax that vary over latitudinal range, and show that cultivated flax receivedLuTFL1alleles from more northerly wild flax populations. Compared to a genomic background of population structure of flaxes over latitude determined using restriction site-associated loci, theLuTFL1alleles display a level of differentiation that is consistent with selection both for a northern associated allele (III) and against a southern associated allele (I) in the north. We also demonstrate thatLuTFL1alleles are associated with differing flowering time, and through heterologous expression inArabidopsis thalianathatLuTFL1is a functional homolog ofTFL1inArabidopsis thalianaand is capable of changing both flowering time and plant architecture. We conclude that specialized fiber flax types formed as a consequence of a natural adaptation of cultivated flax to higher latitudes.Significance statementIt is usually assumed that domesticated plants acquire traits that are useful to humans alone. The unusual twist in this study is that the domesticated plant involved, flax, has an adaptation under domestication that serves both the cultivators and the plant, resulting in smaller seed size. In this case, the adaptation could have opened the way for the ensuing textile revolution as flax became predisposed for fiber production.
