The origin and evolution of cultivated rice and genomic signatures of heterosis for yield traits in super-hybrid rice

Abstract Background Understanding the evolutionary history of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) and the genomic basis of heterosis is crucial for advancing rice productivity and ensuring global food security. The origins of the two main subspecies, indica and japonica, remain contentious, with debates...
