Data availability
The RNA-seq data, DAP-seq data and CUT&Tag-seq data have been deposited in the Genome Sequence Archive in the National Genomics Data Center ( https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/ , bioproject ID PRJCA031750). CHPO sequence data of Fig. 5g and Extended Data Fig. 10aâc are available from the Rice Annotation Project Database (RAP-DB) ( https://rapdb.dna.naro.go.jp/ ), Pangenome Database of Wild and Cultivated Rice (RicePandb) ( http://ricepandb.ncgr.ac.cn/ ) and the dataset associated with the published study âMultiple domestications of Asian riceâ 29 ( https://doi.org/10.1038/s41477-023-01476-z ). CHPO GCG allele data of Extended Data Fig. 10dâf are available from Rice Variation Map v.2.0 ( https://ricevarmap.ncpgr.cn/ ). Geographical distribution information of varieties of Extended Data Fig. 10dâf is available from Rice Variation Map v.2.0 ( https://ricevarmap.ncpgr.cn/ ) and Sandbox ( https://sandbox.genesys-pgr.org ). Soil temperature data of Extended Data Fig. 10dâf are available from the NOAA-CIRES-DOE 20th Century Reanalysis v.3 dataset provided by the NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory, using the daily long-term mean soil temperature file tsoil.day.ltm.nc ( https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.20thC_ReanV3.html ). Altitude data of Extended Data Fig. 10dâf are available from R package elevatr ( https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/elevatr/index.html ). Soil nitrogen content data of Extended Data Fig. 10dâf are obtained from the Global Soil Dataset for Earth System Modeling ( http://globalchange.bnu.edu.cn/research/soilw ). Full version of all gels and blots are provided in Supplementary Fig. 1 . Source data are provided with this paper.
