Rice (Oryza sativa L.) was the first largest plant genome to be completely sequenced in 2002. With the smallest genome among cereals, a highly self-pollinated crop, rich in genetic diversity, and one of the most significant crops for global food security, rice genomes have become a valuable genomic model for comparative genomics among cereals and functional genomics. This research topic will cover advances in OMICs, comparative genomics, epigenomics, gene functional discoveries, genome editing, mutagenesis, and QTL mining.
Climate change has a strong impact on the survival of rice crops and food security. From the rice that acquires 2.5 Tons of irrigation water to produce just a kilogram of polished rice, we must revolutionize rice breeding to become more resilient to global warming and extreme climate change. Translation of functional genomics into innovations will contribute significantly to fast-tracking new rice varietal development. The goal of this research topic is to open an academic platform for presenting advancements and innovations in rice functional genomics.
The research topic welcomes Reviews, Original Research Articles, Short Communications, and Rice Genome Databases. The scope of the Research Topic will include but is not limited to:
- Panoryza genomics
- Regulation of non-coding RNA in transcriptomics
- Epigenomics and induced genetic variability
- Current rice genome database and browsers
- Regulation of plant development and differentiation
- Functional genomics of immune responses to newly emerging diseases and insects
- Functional genomics of resistance to abiotic stresses
- New trait discoveries and functional genes
- Enrichment of genetic variability
- Enhancing homologous recombination
- Nutritional genomics
