The History and Diversity of Rice Domestication as Resolved From 1464 Complete Plastid Genomes.

ABSTRACT: The plastid is an essential organelle in autotrophic plant cells, descending from free-living cyanobacteria and acquired by early eukaryotic cells through endosymbiosis roughly one billion years ago. It contained a streamlined genome (plastome) that is uniparentally inherited and non-recombinant, which makes it an ideal tool for resolving the origin and diversity of plant species and populations. In the present study, a large dataset was amassed by de novo assembling plastomes from 295 common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) and 1135 Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) accessions, supplemented with 34 plastomes from other Oryza species. From this dataset, the phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic history of O. rufipogon and O. sativa w
