*All accession numbers were obtained from the International Rice Research Institute at Los Banos, Philippines, except for M8-15, which was collected by the authors. Sixty-two genes were sequenced for these species and used only for testing the effect of dense sampling. Sequences of O. sativa (93-11) were retrieved from the BGI-RIS database.
