Rice
 
Description Rice is one of the pillars of world-wide
food security. Improvement in its yield is necessary
to mitigate hunger of millions of people who depend
on rice as a staple. Decoding rice genome sequence is
expected to complement efforts being made to
improve rice and its yield. The information about
more than 32,000 genes, regulatory elements, repeat
DNA, and DNA markers opens-up new horizons for
molecular analysis and genetic enhancement not only
for rice but also for other cereal crops. In the post-genomic era, significant progress has been made on
defining transcriptome and epigenome as well as gene
discovery by way of forward and reverse genetic
approaches. Efforts are on to fill the gap between the
genome and the phenotype. This may lead to regular
practice of genomics-assisted breeding of rice.
