Perspective Rice 2020: A Call For An International Coordinated Effort In Rice Functional Genomics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a call for an international coordinated effort in rice functional genomics in the form of a project named RICE2020. Themission of the project will be: to determine the function of every gene in the rice genome by the year 2020, to identify functional diversity of alleles for agriculturally useful genes from the primary gene pool of rice, and to apply the findings of functional genomics research to rice genetic improvement.

متن کاملGene tagging in rice: a high throughput system for functional genomics.
Rice, with its small genome size and well-characterized molecular information, is an ideal model plant for cereal genomics research. Sequence of the rice (Oryza sativa) genome will be determined by the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP) in the near future. Therefore, a large population of mutant plants should be required for adequately assigning function to the abundant sequen...
متن کاملScientific Correspondence Sequencing Multiple and Diverse Rice Varieties. Connecting Whole-Genome Variation with Phenotypes
The International Rice Functional Genomics Consortium (IRFGC) has initiated a project to provide the rice research community with access to extensive information on genetic variation present within and between diverse rice cultivars and landraces, as well as the genetic resources to exploit that information. Among crop plants, rice is uniquely positioned to achieve this goal due to the release ...
متن کاملDevelopment in Rice Genome Research Based on Accurate Genome Sequence
Rice is one of the most important crops in the world. Although genetic improvement is a key technology for the acceleration of rice breeding, a lack of genome information had restricted efforts in molecular-based breeding until the completion of the high-quality rice genome sequence, which opened new opportunities for research in various areas of genomics. The syntenic relationship of the rice ...
متن کاملRice functional genomics research in China.
Rice functional genomics is a scientific approach that seeks to identify and define the function of rice genes, and uncover when and how genes work together to produce phenotypic traits. Rapid progress in rice genome sequencing has facilitated research in rice functional genomics in China. The Ministry of Science and Technology of China has funded two major rice functional genomics research pro...
