This topic bibliography was built to accompany two articles on the domestication of rice. While rice is recognized to have been domesticated in China between 9000 and 10,000 years ago, its spread into other countries, including Indonesia, the Indian subcontinent and Africa involved if not domestication then a series of plant manipulations and hybridization that must be included in the domestication history of rice. The bibliography was too large to include on each of the articles.
These articles on the domestication of rice are a part of the About.com Guide to Plant Domestications, and part of the Dictionary of Archaeology.
