Phylogenetic Analysis of Oryza Rufipogon Strains and Their Relations to Oryza Sativa Strains by Insertion Polymorphism of Rice Sines Genes Genet. Syst. (2007) 82, p. 217–229 Phylogenetic analysis of Oryza rufipogon strains and their relations to Oryza sativa strains by insertion polymorphism of rice SINEs Jian-Hong Xu, Chaoyang Cheng, Suguru Tsuchimoto, Hisako Ohtsubo and Eiichi Ohtsubo* Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, the University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0032, Japan (Received 22 January 2007, accepted 6 March 2007) Oryza rufipogon, the progenitor of the cultivated rice species Oryza sativa, is known by its wide intraspecific variation. In this study, we performed phyloge- netic analyses of O. rufipogon strains and their relationships to O. sativa strains by using 26 newly identified p-SINE1 members from O. rufipogon strains, in addi- tion to 23 members previously identified from O. sativa strains. A total of 103 strains of O. rufipogon and O. sativa were examined for the presence and absence of each of the p-SINE1 members at respective loci by PCR with a pair of primers that hybridize to the regions flanking each p-SINE1 member. A phylogenetic tree constructed on the basis of the insertion polymorphism of p-SINE1 members showed that O. rufipogon and O. sativa strains are classified into three groups. The first group consisted of O. rufipogon perennial strains mostly from China and O. sativa ssp. japonica strains, which included javanica strains forming a distinct subgroup. The second group consisted of almost all the O. rufipogon annual strains, a few O. rufipogon perennial strains and O. sativa ssp. indica strains. These groupings, in addition to other results, support the previous notion that annual O. rufipogon originated in the O. rufipogon perennial population, and that O. sativa originated polyphyletically in the O. rufipogon populations. The third group consisted of the other perennial strains and intermediate-type strains of O. rufipogon, in which the intermediate-type strains are most closely related to a hypothetical ancestor with no p-SINE1 members at the respective loci and to those belonging to the other rice species with the AA genome. This suggests that O. rufipogon perennial strains are likely to have originated from the O. rufipogon intermediate-ecotype population.

    Rice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rice Oryza sativa Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Liliopsida Order: Poales Family: Poaceae Genus: Oryza Species • Oryza glaberrima • Oryza sativa Rice refers to two species ( Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima ) of grass , native to tropical and subtropical southern & southeastern Asia and to Africa , which together provide more than one fifth of the calories consumed by humans [1]. (The term "wild rice" can refer to wild species of Oryza, but conventionally refers to species of the related genus Zizania , both wild and domesticated.) Rice is an annual plant , growing to 1–1.8 m tall, occasionally more, with long slender leaves 50–100 cm long and 2–2.5 cm broad. The small wind-pollinated flowers are produced in a branched arching to pendulous inflorescence 30–50 cm long. The seed is a grain (caryopsis) 5–12 mm long and 2–3 mm thick.

Rice is the world's third largest crop, behind maize ("corn") and wheat . Rice cultivation is well suited to countries and regions with low labour costs and high rainfall , as it is very labour-intensive to cultivate and requires plenty of water for irrigation , much like the licorice crops found in Eastern Europe.

  • Archaeological and Genetic Insights Into the Origins of Domesticated Rice Briana L
    SPECIAL FEATURE: PERSPECTIVE Archaeological and genetic insights into the origins of domesticated rice Briana L. Grossa,1 and Zhijun Zhaob aBiology Department, University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, MN 55812; and bInstitute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing 100710, China Edited by Dolores R. Piperno, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Washington, DC, and approved November 4, 2013 (received for review June 28, 2013) Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereal grains in the world today and serves as a staple food source for more than half of the world’s population. Research into when, where, and how rice was brought into cultivation and eventually domesticated, along with its development into a staple food source, is thus essential. These questions have been a point of nearly continuous research in both archaeology and genetics, and new information has continually come to light as theory, data acquisition, and analytical techniques have advanced over time. Here, we review the broad history of our scientific understanding of the rice domestication process from both an archaeological and genetic perspective and examine in detail the information that has come to light in both of these fields in the last 10 y. Current findings from genetics and archaeology are consistent with the domestication of O. sativa japonica in the Yangtze River valley of southern China. In- terestingly, although it appears rice was cultivated in the area by as early 8000 BP, the key domestication trait of nonshattering was not fixed for another 1,000 y or perhaps longer.

  • Conservation Recommendations for Oryza Rufipogon Griff. in China
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Conservation recommendations for Oryza rufpogon Grif. in China based on genetic diversity analysis Junrui Wang1,6, Jinxia Shi2,6, Sha Liu1, Xiping Sun3, Juan Huang1,4, Weihua Qiao1,5, Yunlian Cheng1, Lifang Zhang1, Xiaoming Zheng1,5* & Qingwen Yang1,5* Over the past 30 years, human disturbance and habitat fragmentation have severely endangered the survival of common wild rice (Oryza rufpogon Grif.) in China. A better understanding of the genetic structure of O. rufpogon populations will therefore be useful for the development of conservation strategies. We examined the diversity and genetic structure of natural O. rufpogon populations at the national, provincial, and local levels using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Twenty representative populations from sites across China showed high levels of genetic variability, and approximately 44% of the total genetic variation was among populations. At the local level, we studied fourteen populations in Guangxi Province and four populations in Jiangxi Province. Populations from similar ecosystems showed less genetic diferentiation, and local environmental conditions rather than geographic distance appeared to have infuenced gene fow during population genetic evolution. We identifed a triangular area, including northern Hainan, southern Guangdong, and southwestern Guangxi, as the genetic diversity center of O. rufpogon in China, and we proposed that this area should be given priority during the development of ex situ and in situ conservation strategies. Populations from less common ecosystem types should also be given priority for in situ conservation. Common wild rice (Oryza rufpogon Grif.) is the putative progenitor of Asian cultivated rice, one of the most important food crops in the world.

  • The Genome Sequence of African Rice (Oryza Glaberrima) and Evidence for Independent Domestication

Interestingly, African rice is not of the same origin as Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) but rather is an entirely different species (i.e., Oryza glaberrima Steud.). Here we present a high-quality assembly and annotation of the O. glaberrima genome and detailed analyses of its evolutionary history of domestication and selection. Population genomics analyses of 20 O. glaberrima and 94 Oryza barthii accessions support the hypothesis that O. glaberrima was domesticated in a single region along the Niger river as opposed to noncentric domestication events across Africa. We detected evidence for artificial selection at a genome-wide scale, as well as with a set of O. glaberrima genes orthologous to O. sativa genes that are known to be associated with domestication, thus indicating convergent yet independent selection of a common set of genes during two geographically and culturally distinct domestication processes. O. glaberrima Steud. is an African species of rice that was inde- Here we present a high-quality assembly and annotation of the pendently domesticated from the wild progenitor O.
