Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.), the progenitor of Asian cultivated rice (O. sativa
L.), is endangered due to habitat loss. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the …

In this chapter, we assess the current status of wild Oryza gene bank collections and in situ
protection sites. We have identified O. neocaledonica and O. schlechteri as priority species …

Wild rice (Oryza rufipogon L) is known as an important germplasm that has specific
desirable attributes and a high genetic diversity. The physicochemical and antioxidant …

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is widely cultivated in China and many landraces are maintained by
local farmers. However, there is little information available about their diversity and species …

Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) is an important germplasm for rice breeding,
which contains many resistance genes. Re-sequencing provides an unprecedented …

The gene pool of cultivated Asian rice consists of wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.), cultivated
rice (O. sativa L.) and a weedy form (O. sativa f. spontanea). All three components are …

A backcross breeding strategy was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated
with 14 traits in a BC 2 F 2 population derived from a cross between MR219, an indica rice …

Advanced backcross families derived from Oryza sativa cv MR219/O. rufipogon
IRGC105491 were utilized for identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for blast resistance …

Indochina Peninsula is the primary centre of diversity of rice and lies partly in the centre of
origin of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) where the wild ancestor (Oryza rufipogon) is still …

ABSTRACT Oryza rufipogon Griff. or 'Rufi'is the wild progenitor of the cultivated rice, Oryza
sativa L. In the Philippines, Rufi was previously known to be found only in Lake Apo …
