We have pioneered studies demonstrating that low -
yielding wild and exotic Oryza species harbor genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) that can be used to enhance the performance of modern, high -
yielding rice cultivars.
Under a grant from the Global Diversity Trust, we are using genomic tools to develop inter-specific introgression lines, novel genetic resources that are derived from crosses between diverse
wild relatives and elite, high
yielding varieties of both indica and japonica
rice.
