This study leveraged knowledge of the specific known cultivar progenitor "Nanjing11" of a weedy rice population from East China, and discovered that the landrace introgression greatly contributed to the recent feralization of modern cultivars, including the introduction of the Rc gene that confers key weedy traits such as red pericarp and seed dormancy.
