Possible scenarios for the origin of japonica and indica from a genetically diverse O. rufipogon population, with genetic differentiation represented by different colors. Possible timing for the movement of domestication alleles from japonica into indica via hybridization is shown with dashed lines. Colors in the final domesticated indica circle represent the contributions from the original O. rufipogon populations (blue) and introgression from japonica (red).
