Foxes domesticated through the power of SOVIET SCIENCE!
I'd really like to work on domesticating a new crop someday. It would be deeply pleasing to feel that connection to very beginnings of civilization. The agricultural revolution is pretty old hat these days, but it was certainly a much bigger deal than the industrial revolution in the greater scheme of things. It really doesn't get as much attention as it deserves, probably because brass gears and steam are a bit sexier than quern stones and communicable diseases. Too bad. I think grainpunk would be hawesome.
