Perspectives

Ko Shimamoto

New developments in rice molecular biology are enabling its use as a paradigmatical model for monocotyledonous plants. K. Shimamoto discusses progress in the Rice Genome Project, the first positional cloning of a rice gene [also reported in this issue of Science (Song et al., p. 1804)], and new cloning and transformation methods for rice.
