But what's driving the substantial increase in growth is still largely a mystery. Wild rice is an annual plant, meaning it completes its entire life cycle in one growing season and then dies.

The construction of a ‘pangenome’ sequence collection that incorporates the genomes of nearly 150 wild and cultivated rice varieties captures all the genetic diversity found in this plant.

A study has constructed an unprecedented pangenome map of wild and ... history of rice. The study was led by Prof. Han Bin's team at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of ...

A rice pangenome map has been constructed that incorporates the genomes of nearly 150 wild and cultivated rice varieties.

which opens up new opportunities to combine beneficial genes from different rice subspecies. The near-saturated pangenome dataset, integrating valuable wild genetic resources, provides a powerful ...
