The African Rice Oryza glaberrima Steud: Knowledge Distribution and Prospects
This paper presents a consolidated balance-sheet on the botanical and historical evidence for the role of the cultivated African rice species (Oryza glaberrima Steud) in West and Central Africa as well as its geographical distribution. Because Oryza glaberrima has survived without the help and interference from human, it has developed adaptive and ...

Diversity and Potential of Oryza glaberrima Steud in Upland Rice Breeding.
Oryza glaberrima Steud, the indigenous domesticated Oryza species in West Africa, is a potential source of useful genes for a range of economically important characters. Progenies from interspecific hybridization of O. sativa and O. glaberrima show high sterility in the F1 hybrids and early generations.

The brown planthopper (BPH: Brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stål) is one of a major insect pest of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the tropics and temperate areas. BPH resistant varieties have been used for controlling BPH and more than 40 BPH resistance genes have been identified from cultivated and wild rice distributed in Asia. Although some African

Disruption of GSTZ1 Gene by Large Genetic Alteration in Oryza glaberrima
After the completion of the genome sequencing project of common rice (Oryza sativa L.), comparative genomic studies between rice and related species became important to reveal the function of each gene. The rice genome contains two copies of the gene encoding zeta class glutathione S-transferase (GSTZ) that is reported to be the enzyme in the catabolic
