  abstract = {{A}frican rice ({O}ryza glaberrima) was domesticated independently from {A}sian rice. {T}he geographical origin of its domestication remains elusive. {U}sing 246 new whole-genome sequences, we inferred the cradle of its domestication to be in the {I}nner {N}iger {D}elta. {D}omestication was preceded by a sharp decline of most wild populations that started more than 10,000 years ago. {T}he wild population collapse occurred during the drying of the {S}ahara. {T}his finding supports the hypothesis that depletion of wild resources in the {S}ahara triggered {A}frican rice domestication. {A}frican rice cultivation strongly expanded 2,000 years ago. {D}uring the last 5 centuries, a sharp decline of its cultivation coincided with the introduction of {A}sian rice in {A}frica. {A} gene, {PROG}1, associated with an erect plant architecture phenotype, showed convergent selection in two rice cultivated species, {O}ryza glaberrima from {A}frica and {O}ryza sativa from {A}sia. {I}n contrast, a shattering gene, {SH}5, showed selection signature during {A}frican rice domestication, but not during {A}sian rice domestication. {O}verall, our genomic data revealed a complex history of {A}frican rice domestication influenced by important climatic changes in the {S}aharan area, by the expansion of {A}frican agricultural society, and by recent replacement by another domesticated species.},
