Genomic differentiation and parallel selection in global weedy rice. a Normalized genomic differentiation (FST) of different groups of indica and japonica weedy rice compared with its related type of cultivated rice for chromosome 7. Two novel loci were labeled using arrows. b A common divergent genomic region in weedy rice genome. Above, FST scan of the genomic region from 5.0 to 7.0 Mb in chromosome 7. Middle, significance of the allele frequency difference in the region. Bottom, the extent of divergence (blue: low; yellow: high) for genes within the region including Rc, six RALs, three LtpLs and one CHS. c Characterization of a seed germination-related gene GD1, which is under parallel selection in japonica weeds. The phylogeny of the gene shows clear separation of TEJ cultivars and weeds. One non-synonymous SNP (T to C in weedy population) at the 12th exon causes an amino acid change and significantly high frequency of the variant was observed in weedy population
