Data from that same study also suggested 'that equal timing of domestication (for indica and tropical japonica) is likely to have occurred' [8].
Both demographic analyses suggested an older divergence of BHA1 from its putative aus progenitor, either after domestication, or close to the timing of domestication (Tables 4 and 5).
Priors for time of population expansion (τg), founding in the U.S. (τf), and time of divergence (τs) were based on the known history of cultivated rice in the U.S. and timing of domestication.
If U.S. weedy rice groups originated from cultivated ancestors, it is of interest to determine whether divergence of the weeds occurred prior to or concurrent with their introduction to the U.S., and how divergence is related to the timing of domestication.

Although the exact timing of dog domestication has not been definitively determined, it is clear that the dog was domesticated from the wolf.
As researchers report online this month in BMC Evolutionary Biology, they analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome the DNA found within cell's energy powerhouses of 45 diverse horse breeds, looking for clues to the timing of horse domestication.
To this end, it reviews the role that slash-and-burn cultivation has had in discussions about pre-Columbian Amazonia, discusses how this account has been modified by recent research on pre-Columbian anthropogenic soils, and queries the extent to which the regionally-heterogeneous timing of crop domestication and cultivation may have influenced the fire history of pre-Columbian Amazonia.
Unfortunately, the estimate of 10,000 years may be too short to accurately simulate this timing of rice domestication, considering it on the basis of the spontaneous mutation rate of DNA under natural conditions and nature of rice as a self plant.
Although a phylogenetic tree alone does not allow drawing conclusions about the number of mtDNA lineages incorporated into the domestic gene pool, the molecular dates obtained for the divergence events in combination with knowledge about the timing of horse domestication allow some speculations on this issue.
The starting time of silkworm domestication was estimated to be approximate 7,500 years ago; the time of domestication termination was 3,984 years ago.
Additionally, SNP data has been used to investigate patterns of genetic variation within and between breeds, establish timing and geography of domestication, examine relatedness among breeds, and identify signatures of artificial selection [ 4, 7- 9].
