Oryza sativa
indica group,
Oryza sativa
japonica
group and its wild relatives were evolved from
another group of grasses such as
Leersiatis seranti
,
Chikusichloa aquatica
,
Potamophila parviflora
,
Rhynchoryza subulata
and
Zizania aquatica
.
Phylogenetic tree revealed that aromatic rice was
evolved from
Oryza sativa
japonica group and
Oryza sativa
indica group along with the parallel
evolution of
Oryza glaberrima
and
Oryza rufipogal
.
Similarly, Khush (2000) was also suggested that the
common rice and the African rice,
Oryza glaberrima
was an example of parallel evolution in crop plants.
