This book focuses on the latest genome sequencing of the 25 wild
Oryza species, public and private genomic resources, and their
impact on genetic improvement research. It also addresses the
untapped reservoir of agronomically important traits in wild Oryza
species. Rice is a model crop plant that is frequently used to
address several basic questions in plant biology, yet its wild
relatives offer an untapped source of agronomically important
alleles that are absent in the rice gene pool. The genus Oryza is
extremely diverse, as indicated by a wide range of chromosome
numbers, different ploidy levels and genome sizes. After a 13-year
gap from the first sequencing of rice in the 2002, the genomes of
11 wild Oryza species have now been sequenced and more will follow.
These vast genomic resources are extremely useful for addressing
several basic questions on the origin of the genus, evolutionary
relationships between the species, domestication, and environmental
adaptation, and also help to substantiate molecular breeding and
pre-breeding work to introgress useful characters horizontally from
wild species into cultivated rice.
