Abstract:Plant functional genomics is a scientific approach that seeks to identify and define the function of plant genes, and uncover when and how genes work together to produce traits. Rapid progress in rice genome sequencing has facilitated research in the rice functional genomics. A widely internal collaboration on rice functional genomics study is needed for accelerating rice gene discovery and application in China. It is no doubted that we will be one of leading countries in this study, if we can closely work together and try our best to make the efforts to rice functional genomics.
