Wild relatives of rice are found across northern Australia. The project aims to apply emerging technologies for efficient whole genome sequencing to determination of the genetic diversity of these populations in relation to cultivated rice and wild rice from other parts of the world. The role of the Australian populations in the evolution of rice and the potential of these populations to contribute valuable diversity to rice crops worldwide are intended to be analysed. The impact of domestication on rice in Asia is expected to be established by the characterisation of the related Australian populations that were isolated from the impacts of agriculture for around 7000 years. Whole genome associations with environment may provide clues to adapting agriculture to climate.

稻米的野生近缘种在澳大利亚北部随处可见。该项目旨在应用新兴技术进行高效的全基因组测序，以确定这些种群与世界其他地区栽培稻和野生稻相关的遗传多样性。旨在分析澳大利亚种群在水稻进化中的作用以及这些种群为全世界水稻作物贡献宝贵多样性的潜力。驯化对亚洲水稻的影响预计将通过对大约 7000 年来与农业影响隔绝的相关澳大利亚种群的特征来确定。全基因组与环境的关联可能为农业适应气候提供线索。
