<b>Classifying Rice Germplasm by Isozyme Polymorphoism and Origin of Cultivated Rice</b>

Tian X, Zheng J, Hu S, Yu J.
<b>The Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Mitochondrial Genomes and Their Variations.</b>
Plant Physiol. 2005 Dec 29
Vitte C, Ishii T, Lamy F, Brar D, Panaud O.
<b>Genomic paleontology provides evidence for two distinct origins of Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.).</b>
Mol Genet Genomics. 2004 Dec;272(5):504-11. Epub 2004 Oct 16.

<b>All show that Indica and Japonica rice varieties were domesticated independently. </b>However, that does not mean there is no relationship between the two domestication events.
Japonica has a tropical origin and the temparate variety of Japonica likely originates from the tropical type. Aromatic and waxy types of rice appear to descend from Japonica.
According to the second pdf above (Khush et al.), <b>Indica rice originated in the Eastern Himalayan foothills, </b>while <b>Japonica rice was domesticated in mainland Southeast Asia. </b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
