Abstract The rice species Oryza sativa is considered to be a model plant because of its
small genome size, extensive genetic map, relative ease of transformation and
synteny with other cereal crops. Here we report the essentially complete
sequence of chromosome 1, the longest chromosome in the rice genome. We
summarize characteristics of the chromosome structure and the biological insight
gained from the sequence. The analysis of 43.3 megabases (Mb) of non-overlapping
sequence reveals 6,756 protein coding genes, of which 3,161 show homology to
proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana, another model plant. About 30% (2,073) of the
genes have been functionally categorized. Rice chromosome 1 is (G + C)-rich,
especially in its coding regions, and is characterized by several gene families
that are dispersed or arranged in tandem repeats. Comparison with a draft
sequence indicates the importance of a high-quality finished sequence.
