Population genomic analyses uncover the domestication trajectory of black rice, indicating its unique agronomic traits and metabolomics.

To investigate the domestication mechanism of black rice using multi-omics approaches.
Established a global germplasm collection of 367 black rice accessions.
Employed integrated genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics analyses.
Conducted genome-wide scans and population genomic analyses.
Identified a two-step domestication trajectory from wild progenitor to black rice.
Uncovered 238 differentially selected genomic regions associated with black rice.
Discovered up to 32% differential accumulation of metabolites in black rice seeds.

Zhou et al. (2025) studied this question.
