Genetics and Genomics of African Rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud) Domestication [PDF]
Rice, 2021 African rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud) is one of the two independently domesticated rice species, the other one being Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.). Despite major progress being made in understanding the evolutionary and domestication history of African ...

Origins and geographic diversification of African rice (Oryza glaberrima). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Rice is a staple food for the majority of the world's population. Whereas Asian rice (Oryza sativa) has been extensively studied, the exact origins of African rice (Oryza glaberrima) are still contested.

Independent Origin of Phenol Non-responsive Phenotype Caused By Phr1 Variation During Domestication of Asian and African Rice [PDF]
RicePhenol color reaction has been used to distinguish between two subspecies of Asian rice (Oryza sativa), indica and japonica. The trait is controlled by one single Phr1 gene, which encodes a PPO enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds ...

The complex geography of domestication of the African rice Oryza glaberrima. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 While the domestication history of Asian rice has been extensively studied, details of the evolution of African rice remain elusive. The inner Niger delta has been suggested as the center of origin but molecular data to support this hypothesis is lacking.

Deletions linked to PROG1 gene participate in plant architecture domestication in Asian and African rice [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Plant architecture transition is one of the great consequences during rice domestication. Here, the authors find that chromosomal deletions linked to the previously known PROG1 gene also participate in plant architecture domestication in both Asian and ...
