Rachel Meyer and colleagues use whole-genome resequencing of 93 African rice landraces to generate a SNP map used for population analysis and a genome-wide association study for salt tolerance traits. They find 11 significant loci, some with signatures of positive selection, and evidence for a population bottleneck beginning around 15,000 years ago.
