Abstract: African rice (Oryza glaberrima) was domesticated independently from Asian rice. The geographical origin of its domestication remains elusive. Using 246 new whole-genome sequences, we inferred the cradle of its domestication to be in the Inner… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2207105120
Abstract: Significance Selection for a common domestication trait targeted different genes in Asian and African rice. We identify an E3 ubiquitin ligase named Regulator of Awn Elongation 3 (RAE3) that causes awnlessness in African rice and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21645698.2022.2149212
Abstract: ABSTRACT Africa has the world’s fastest rate of population expansion, making it vulnerable to food shortages. Africa cultivates two types of rice (Asian rice; Oryza sativa and African rice; Oryza glaberrima). Native African rice called… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms232112860
Abstract: The domestication of wild rice occurred together with genomic variation, including the synonymous nucleotide substitutions that result in synonymous codon usage bias (SCUB). SCUB mirrors the evolutionary specialization of plants, but its characteristics during domestication… read more here.
