“…Despite the fact that rice is a major cereal and a model system for plant biology, the evolutionary origins and domestication processes of cultivated rice have long been debated. The puzzles about rice domestication include: (1) where the geographic origin of cultivated rice was, (2) which types of O. rufipogon served as its direct wild progenitor, and (3) whether the two subspecies of cultivated rice, indica and japonica, are derived from a single or multiple domestications.A wide range of genetic and archaeological studies have been carried out to examine the phylogenetic relationships of rice, and investigate the demographic history of rice domestication [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . Molecular phylogenetic analyses indicated that indica and japonica originated independently 3,10,20 .…”

Crop domestications are long-term selection experiments that have greatly advanced human civilization. The domestication of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) ranks as one of the most important developments in history. However, its origins and domestication processes are controversial and have long been debated. Here we generate genome sequences from 446 geographically diverse accessions of the wild rice species Oryza rufipogon, the immediate ancestral progenitor of cultivated rice, and from 1,083 cultivated indica and japonica varieties to construct a comprehensive map of rice genome variation. In the search for signatures of selection, we identify 55 selective sweeps that have occurred during domestication. In-depth analyses of the domestication sweeps and genome-wide patterns reveal that Oryza sativa japonica rice was first domesticated from a specific population of O. rufipogon around the middle area of the Pearl River in southern China, and that Oryza sativa indica rice was subsequently developed from crosses between japonica rice and local wild rice as the initial cultivars spread into South East and South Asia. The domestication-associated traits are analysed through high-resolution genetic mapping. This study provides an important resource for rice breeding and an effective genomics approach for crop domestication research.Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.), which is grown worldwide and is one of the most important cereals for human nutrition, is considered to have been domesticated from wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) thousands of years ago 1-4 . The differences between O. sativa and O. rufipogon are reflected in a wide range of morphological and physiological traits [5][6][7][8][9] . Despite the fact that rice is a major cereal and a model system for plant biology, the evolutionary origins and domestication processes of cultivated rice have long been debated. The puzzles about rice domestication include: (1) where the geographic origin of cultivated rice was, (2) which types of O. rufipogon served as its direct wild progenitor, and (3) whether the two subspecies of cultivated rice, indica and japonica, are derived from a single or multiple domestications.A wide range of genetic and archaeological studies have been carried out to examine the phylogenetic relationships of rice, and investigate the demographic history of rice domestication [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] .

However, the well-characterized domestication genes in rice were found to be fixed in both subspecies with the same alleles, thus supporting a single domestication origin [6][7][8][9]16 . Recently, a demographic analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) detected from 630 gene fragments suggested a single domestication origin of rice 17 . Meanwhile, population genetics analyses of genome-wide data of cultivated and wild rice have tended to suggest that indica and japonica genomes generally appear to be of independent origin 1...

“…Wild rice was first domesticated in the Yangtze region of China to 2 cultivated subspecies, indica and japonica [1]. Phylogeographic investigations have suggested that cultivated rice has experienced at least two independent domestications: indica rice was domesticated within a region south of the Himalaya mountains whereas japonica was domesticated from wild rice in southern China [2]. Many ancient rice remains have been found in China, such as in Hemudu in Zhejiang Province, Lixian in Hunan Province, and Jiahu in Henan Province [3].…”

Ancient DNA sequences of rice from the low Yangtze reveal significant genotypic divergence

et al. 2011

Rice (Oryza sativa) was first domesticated in the lower and middle Yangtze regions of China, and rice remains have been found in many Chinese archaeological sites. Until now, only phenotypic archeobotanical evidence, such as the spikelet bases of ancient grains, has been used to speculate on the domestication process and domestication rate of rice. In this study, we sequenced 4 genomic segments from rice remains in Tianluoshan, a site of the local Hemudu Neolithic culture in the low Yangtze and two other archaeological sites (~2400 and 1200 BC, respectively). We compared our sequences with those of the current domesticated and wild rice (O. rufipogon) populations. At least two genotypes were found in the remains from each site, suggesting a heterozygotic state of the rice seeds. One ancient genotype was not found in the current domesticated population and might have been lost. The rice remains belonged to the japonica group, and most if not all were japonica-type, suggesting that the remains might be at an early stage of indica-japonica divergence or an indica-japonica mixture. We also identified sequences with significant similarity to those from species of Sapindales, Zygophyllales, and Brassicales, which is consistent with the identification of other plant remains in the Tianluoshan site and the common rice field weeds such as mustards in southern China.

“…More than 90% of the world's rice is grown and consumed in Asia, where 60% of the earth's people live. Rice is also one of the major staple foods in China, a center of origin of Asian cultivated rice (Khush 1997, Londo et al 2006. The production of japonica rice in northern China is famous for its higher yield and good quality and accounts for 50% of the total production.…”
