The latest review I found on the subject (I couldn’t get at the original paper), was also named On the Origin of Cultivated Rye by H A Spencer and J G Hawks <a href="http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119586561/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0" rel="nofollow">link</a> but that came out in 1980, so I’d be happy to put out a correction/retraction if you know of more recent data that argues against or flat out disproves this origin for rye.
