Maroon rice genomic diversity reflects 350 years of colonial history

2024-05-08

Abstract excerpt

Maroons in Suriname and French Guiana descend from enslaved Africans who escaped the plantations during colonial times. Maroon farmers still cultivate a large rice diversity, their oldest staple crop. Maroon oral history and written records by colonial authorities provide contrasting perspectives on the origins of Maroon rice. Here, we integrated genomic ancestry analyses of 136 newly sequenced Maroon rice varieti...
