A study has constructed an unprecedented pangenome map of wild and cultivated rice, and decoded the genetic architecture and diversity of rice. This study, published online in Nature on April 16, provides a powerful resource for breeding and agricultural innovation, and offers new insights into the evolutionary and domestication history of rice. The study was led by Prof. Han Bin’s team at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
