Abstract
Rice cultivation has wide geographic adaptation. The best sources of genetic variation for rice improvement are the wild progenitors of cultivated rice. Among all known Oryza species and the most important in human perspective are Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima. The first one is grown in all parts of the world, while the latter is restricted in some parts of West Africa. All rice varieties and types currently grown for human consumption and industrial uses are descendants of these two species. International Rice Research Institute maintains the seeds of more than 100,000 rice species (including rice cultivars and their wild progenitors). Moreover, there are more than 40,000 rice varieties which are being grown all across the world. The grains from rice varieties differ for their physical characteristics and cooking qualities. Basmati, jasmine, and some other rice types possess aroma. Future work requires producing rice cultivars which are resilient to environmental stresses and climate changes.
