It exhibits a rich floristic diversity distributed over a variety of bio-climatic environments. Sri Lanka's natural forests and protected wetlands harbor all the wild relatives of rice found in the country. Systematic exploration and collection missions specific to wild relatives of rice were initiated by the Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI) in 1988 in collaboration with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). One result was the discovery of O. rhizomatis, a new species endemic to Sri Lanka. Survey, exploration and collection of wild rice germplasm in the target areas were conducted during the period of December 1998 to May 1999 by the Plant Genetic Resources Center (PGRC). The distribution of the 5 wild species of rice occurring in Sri Lanka is depicted in the maps. Their habitats are also described in this paper.

  • CATALOGUE of the GRASSES of CUBA by A. S. Hitchcock
    CATALOGUE OF THE GRASSES OF CUBA By A. S. Hitchcock. INTRODUCTION. The following list of Cuban grasses is based primarily upon the collections at the Estaci6n Central Agron6mica de Cuba, situated at Santiago de las Vegas, a suburb of Habana. The herbarium includes the collections made by the members of the staff, particularly Mr. C. F. Baker, formerly head of the department of botany, and also the Sauvalle Herbarium deposited by the Habana Academy of Sciences, These specimens were examined by the writer during a short stay upon the island in the spring of 1906, and were later kindly loaned by the station authorities for a more critical study at Washington. The Sauvalle Herbarium contains a fairly complete set of the grasses col- lected by Charles Wright, the most important collection thus far obtained from Cuba. In addition to the collections at the Cuba Experiment Station, the National Herbarium furnished important material for study, including collections made by A. H. Curtiss, W. Palmer and J. H. Riley, A. Taylor (from the Isle of Pines), S. M. Tracy, Brother Leon (De la Salle College, Habana), and the writer. The earlier collections of Wright were sent to Grisebach for study. These were reported upon by Grisebach in his work entitled "Cata- logus Plant arum Cubensium," published in 1866, though preliminary reports appeared earlier in the two parts of Plantae Wrightianae. * During the spring of 1907 I had the opportunity of examining the grasses in the herbarium of Grisebach in Gottingen.6 In the present article I have, with few exceptions, accounted for the grasses listed by Grisebach in his catalogue of Cuban plants, and have appended a list of these with references to the pages in the body of this article upon which the species are considered.

    Geographic Origins, Genetic Diversity and the Molecular Clock Hypothesis in the Oryzeae G. SECQMD Biologie des Populations et des Peuplements, Centre Louis Emberger, C.N.R. S,, B.P. 5051 ., F-34033 Montpellier Cedex (France). And Institut Français de Recherche Scientifique pour le Développement en Coopération (ORSTOM), 24 rue Bayard. 75008 Paris. ABSTRACT The two species groups,Sativa and Latifolia of the genus Oryza seem to be genetically independant in their variation. They have both a pan-tropical distribution. A study using isozyme electrophoresis of strains representing most of the area of distribution at 16 to 40 loci, shows a genetic structure in disagreement with that previously established on a morphological basis (Morishima 1969 and others). The isozyme structure shows, fn both groups, a maximum divergence between Australian and other taxa, while American taxa are closely related to theis Asian counterparts. The application of the calibration of the electrophoretic clock by Sapich (1977) to the distances found points to a tlme of divergence for the Australian taxa compatible with geological data of a collision between Australasia and South-East Asia some 15 millions $years ago. The same calibration gives estimates compatible with OUT knowledge on the palaeoenvironment in particular with regards to : 1)- The possibilities of migration between Eurasia and Africa (interrupted earlier for species of rice adapted to forest or inundated plain than for those species adapted to temporary pools in arid savannas) 2)- The emergence of the Himalayan barrier between China and South Asia.

  • Morphological and Molecular Dissection of Wild Rices from Eastern India Suggests Distinct Speciation Received: 8 May 2017 Accepted: 22 January 2018 Between O
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Morphological and molecular dissection of wild rices from eastern India suggests distinct speciation Received: 8 May 2017 Accepted: 22 January 2018 between O. rufpogon and O. nivara Published: xx xx xxxx populations Rashmita Samal, Pritesh Sundar Roy, Auromira Sahoo, Meera Kumari Kar, Bhaskar Chandra Patra, Bishnu Charan Marndi & Jwala Narasimha Rao Gundimeda The inter relationships between the two progenitors is interesting as both wild relatives are known to be the great untapped gene reservoirs. The debate continues on granting a separate species status to Oryza nivara. The present study was conducted on populations of Oryza rufpogon and Oryza nivara from Eastern India employing morphological and molecular characteristics. The cluster analysis of the data on morphological traits could clearly classify the two wild forms into two separate discrete groups without any overlaps i.e. lack of intermediate forms, suggesting the non-sympatric existence of the wild forms. Amplifcation of hyper variable regions of the genome could reveal 144 alleles suggesting high genetic diversity values (average He = 0.566). Moreover, with 42.37% of uncommon alleles between the two wild relatives, the molecular variance analysis (AMOVA) could detect only 21% of total variation (p < 0.001) among them and rest 59% was within them. The population structure analysis clearly classifed these two wild populations into two distinct sub-populations (K = 2) without any overlaps i.e. lack of intermediate forms, suggesting the non-sympatric existence of the wild forms. Clear diferentiation into two distinct groups indicates that O. rufpogon and O. nivara could be treated as two diferent species.

The GH3 gene family has been well-studied in Arabidopsis thaliana and Zea mays. However, the evolution of the GH3 gene family in Oryza species remains unknown and the function of the GH3 gene family in Oryza sativa is not well-documented. Here, a systematic analysis was performed in six Oryza species/subspecies, including four wild rice species and two cultivated rice subspecies. A total of 13, 13, 13, 13, 12, and 12 members were identified in O. sativa ssp. japonica, O. sativa ssp. indica, Oryza rufipogon, Oryza nivara, Oryza punctata, and Oryza glumaepatula, respectively. Gene duplication events, structural features, conserved motifs, a phylogenetic analysis, chromosome locations, and Ka/Ks ratios of this important family were found to be strictly conservative across these six Oryza species/subspecies, suggesting that the expansion of the GH3 gene family in Oryza species might be attributed to duplication events, and this expansion could occur in the common ancestor of Oryza species, even in common ancestor of rice tribe (Oryzeae) (23.07~31.01 Mya).

  • Late Cretaceous Origin of the Rice Tribe Provides Evidence for Early Diversification in Poaceae
    ARTICLE Received 9 Jun 2010 | Accepted 17 Aug 2011 | Published 20 Sep 2011 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms1482 Late Cretaceous origin of the rice tribe provides evidence for early diversification in Poaceae V. Prasad1, C.A.E. Strömberg2, A.D. Leaché2, B. Samant3, R. Patnaik4, L. Tang5, D.M. Mohabey6, S. Ge5 & A. Sahni7 Rice and its relatives are a focal point in agricultural and evolutionary science, but a paucity of fossils has obscured their deep-time history. Previously described cuticles with silica bodies (phytoliths) from the Late Cretaceous period (67–65 Ma) of India indicate that, by the latest Cretaceous, the grass family (Poaceae) consisted of members of the modern sub- clades PACMAD (Panicoideae–Aristidoideae–Chloridoideae–Micrairoideae–Arundinoideae– Danthonioideae) and BEP (Bambusoideae–Ehrhartoideae–Pooideae), including a taxon with proposed affinities to Ehrhartoideae. Here we describe additional fossils and show that, based on phylogenetic analyses that combine molecular genetic data and epidermal and phytolith features across Poaceae, these can be assigned to the rice tribe, Oryzeae, of grass subfamily Ehrhartoideae. The new Oryzeae fossils suggest substantial diversification within Ehrhartoideae by the Late Cretaceous, pushing back the time of origin of Poaceae as a whole. These results, therefore, necessitate a re-evaluation of current models for grass evolution and palaeobiogeography. 1 Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, 53 University Road, Lucknow 226 007, India. 2 Department of Biology & Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA. 3 Postgraduate Department of Geology, Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur 440001, India. 4 Centre for Petroleum and Applied Geology, Panjab University, Chandigarh 160014, India.

Wing 2,3,4* The genus Oryza is a model system for the study of molecular evolution over time scales ranging from a few thousand to 15 million years. Using 13 reference genomes spanning the Oryza species tree, we show that despite few large-scale chromosomal rearrangements rapid species diversification is mirrored by lineage-specific emergence and turnover of many novel elements, including transposons, and potential new coding and noncoding genes.
