THE RICE GENOME: The Most Precious Things Are Not Jade and Pearls...
Pamela Ronald and Hei Leung
The publication of the draft genome sequences of two subspecies of rice (indica and japonica) is a boon for plant biologists. In their Perspective, Ronald and Leung discuss the impact of the rice genome on our understanding of cereal crop biology and its importance for improving yields of one of the world's most important foods.
P. Ronald is in the Department of Plant Pathology, University of California Davis, Davis, CA 95616, USA. E-mail: pcronald{at}ucdavis.edu H. Leung is at the International Rice Research Institute, DAPO Box 7777, Manila, Philippines.
