About Oryza sativa

Oryza sativa (rice) is the staple food for 2.5 billion people. After maize, it is the grain with the second highest worldwide production. In addition to its agronomic importance, Oryza sativa is also an important biological model species for monocot plants and major cereal crops such as maize, wheat, barley and sorghum. Oryza sativa has a compact genome of ~500 Mbp (n=12) compared with the multi-gigabase genomes of maize, wheat and barley. Read more ...
