Comment on ‘Multiple Origin but Single Domestication Led to Oryza sativa’

The paper critiques a reanalysis of rice domestication that supports a single origin hypothesis, arguing it misinterprets paraphyletic phylogenetic trees as monophyletic and addresses only part of the original evidence for multiple origins.

Diversity patterns across 1,800 chloroplast genomes of wild (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) and cultivated rice (O. sativa L.)

The paper analyzes chloroplast genome diversity in 1,800 wild and cultivated rice accessions, revealing distinct domestication histories for aus and aromatic rice groups.
