Abstract

Rice is one of the most important crops in the world. During the last few years, genetic studies with a high-quality rice reference genome sequence have greatly facilitated genetic mapping and positional cloning of many genes underlying agronomically important traits in rice. Recently, several new methods have been developed to comprehensively dissect naturally occurring variation in rice. In this chapter, we begin by addressing the utility of the second-generation sequencing technology in the rice genetics and genomics researches. We then discuss the genetic diversity in rice. We presented the tools for sequencing-based genotyping and genome-wide association study (GWAS) and summarized accompanied important advances that have been achieved in rice.
