This study shows that fragrance of rice grains is controlled by at least eight independent mutations in the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH2) enzyme-encoding locus. While most of these mutations are confined to narrow geographic regions, one mutation rose to high frequency in Japonica rice, and introgressed into Indica varieties.
A 5.3-Mb region flanking the BADH2 gene is found in Basmati-like accessions, with strong similarity to the ancestral Japonica haplotype, providing evidence for this Japonica to Indica introgression. These results contrast with earlier suggestions that fragrant rice originated in Indica rice. Reduced nucleotide diversity and elevated linkage disequilibrium suggest strong positive selection acting on this causal allele.
