dcterms.abstractCrop wild relatives host unique adaptation strategies that enable them to thrive across a wide range of habitats. As pressures from a changing climate mount, a more complete understanding of the genetic variation that underlies this adaptation could enable broader utilization of wild materials for crop improvement. Here, we carry out environmental association analyses (EAA) in the Oryza rufipogon species complex (ORSC), the wild progenitor of cultivated Asian rice, to identify genomic regions associated with environmental adaptation characterized by variation in bioclimatic and soil variables. We further examine regions for colocalizations with phenotypic associations within the same collection. EAA results indicate that significant regions tend to associate with single environmental variables, although 2 significant loci on chromosomes 3 and 5 are detected as common across multiple variable types (i.e. precipitation, temperature, and/or soil). Distributions of allele frequencies at significant loci across subpopulations of cultivated Oryza sativa indicate that, in some cases, adaptive variation may already be present among cultivars, although evaluation in cultivated populations is needed to empirically test this. This work has implications for the potential utility of wild genetic resources in pre-breeding efforts for rice improvement.en
