  abstract = {{F}or millennia, people have harvested fruits from the wild for their alimentation. {G}radually, they have started selecting wild individuals presenting traits of interest, protecting and cultivating them. {T}his was the starting point of their domestication. {T}he passage from a wild to a cultivated status is accompanied by a modification of a number of morphological and genetic traits, commonly known as the domestication syndrome. {W}e studied the domestication syndrome in {D}acryodes edulis ({G}.{D}on) {H}.{J}.{L}am (known as '{A}frican plum' or 'safoutier/prunier'), a socio-economically important indigenous fruit tree species in {W}est and {C}entral {A}frica. {W}e compared wild and cultivated individuals for their sex distribution; flower, fruit and seed morphometric characteristics; seed germination temporal dynamic and fruit lipid composition. {W}e found a higher percentage of male and male-hermaphrodite sexual types in wild populations than in cultivated ones; a lower fruit and seed mass in wild individuals; and similar mean time of germination, oil content and fatty acid composition between wild and cultivated individuals. {O}ur results are interpreted in light of the presence of a domestication syndrome in {D}. edulis.},
