Journal ArticleDOI
Consilience of genetics and archaeobotany in the entangled history of rice
Dorian Q. Fuller,Yo-Ichiro Sato,Cristina Castillo,Ling Qin,Alison Weisskopf,Eleanor Kingwell-Banham,Jixiang Song,Sung-Mo Ahn,Jacob van Etten +8 more
TL;DR: An updated synthesis of the interwoven patterns of the spread of various rice varieties throughout Asia and to Madagascar can be suggested in which rice reached most of its historical range of important cultivation by the Iron Age.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of rice agriculture and livestock pastoralism to prehistoric methane levels: An archaeological assessment
Dorian Q. Fuller,Jacob van Etten,Katie Manning,Cristina Castillo,Eleanor Kingwell-Banham,Alison Weisskopf,Ling Qin,Ling Qin,Yo Ichiro Sato,Robert J. Hijmans +9 more
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the origins and dispersal of rice in Asia based on a data base of 443 archaeobotanical reports and considered evidence in terms of quality, and especially whether there are data indicatin...
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic history and ecology of the geographic spread of rice
Rafal M. Gutaker,Simon C. Groen,Emily S. Bellis,Jae Young Choi,Inês Pires,Inês Pires,R. Kyle Bocinsky,Emma Slayton,Olivia Wilkins,Olivia Wilkins,Cristina Castillo,Cristina Castillo,Sónia Negrão,M. Margarida Oliveira,Dorian Q. Fuller,Dorian Q. Fuller,Jade d'Alpoim Guedes,Jesse R. Lasky,Michael D. Purugganan +18 more
TL;DR: The history of rice dispersal in Asia is reconstructed using whole-genome sequences of more than 1,400 landraces, coupled with geographic, environmental, archaeobotanical and paleoclimate data to identify extrinsic factors that influence genome diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the Geographical Origin of Rice Cultivation in Asia Using the Rice Archaeological Database.
Fabio Silva,Chris J. Stevens,Alison Weisskopf,Cristina Castillo,Ling Qin,Andrew Bevan,Dorian Q. Fuller +6 more
TL;DR: The model that best fits all available archaeological evidence is a dual origin model with two centres for the cultivation and dispersal of rice focused on the MiddleYangtze and the Lower Yangtze valleys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Archaeogenetic study of prehistoric rice remains from Thailand and India: evidence of early japonica in South and Southeast Asia
Cristina Castillo,Katsunori Tanaka,Yo-Ichiro Sato,Ryuji Ishikawa,Bérénice Bellina,Charles Higham,Nigel Chang,Rabi Mohanty,Mukund Kajale,Dorian Q. Fuller +9 more
TL;DR: The data generated in the present study adds support to the model of rice evolution that includes hybridization between japonica and proto-indica, and affirm that grain measurements have some degree of reliability in rice subspecies identification.
