Summary

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop in the world, being a staple food for more than half of the world's human population, especially in Asia. It plays an important role in global food security. Rice is also the first crop plant to have its genome sequenced, which promotes the establishment of the relatively complete research methods and a broad research base. Facing the challenge of global climate change and increasing food consumption, it is important to deeply analyze the physiological characteristics and genetic basis of high-yield rice for solving the growing food security problems in the world.

Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:

1) Physiological characteristics and yield of Rice

2) Abiotic and biotic stress on physiology and biochemistry of rice

3) Genomics-assisted breeding in rice

4) Analyses of yield and yield-related traits in rice

5) Grain yields of rice and environment (soil)
