AB The domestication scenario that led to Asian rice (Oryza sativa) is a contentious topic. Here, we have reanalyzed a previously published large-scale wild and domesticated rice dataset, which were also analyzed by two studies but resulted in two contrasting domestication scenario. Our result indicates Asian rice originated from multiple wild progenitor subpopulations, however, domestication occurred only once and the domestication alleles were transferred between rice subpopulation through introgression.
