Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide variation in 14 unlinked nuclear genes was investigated in species-wide samples of African rice (Oryza glaberrima) and its wild progenitor (O. barthii). Average estimates of nucleotide diversity were extremely low in both species (θ (sil) = 0.0007 for O. glaberrima; θ (sil) = 0.0024 for O. barthii). About 70% less diversity was found in O. glaberrima than in its progenitor O. barthii. Coalescent...
