Genomic divergence during feralization reveals both conserved and distinct mechanisms of parallel weediness evolution
Imaizumi et al. examine the origin and evolution of Japanese weedy rice and document the role of hybridization in weedy rice origins. Their results show that there is parallel evolution in rice feralization, and document the temperate and tropical japonica origins of weedy rice in Japan.
