Species of plant
Oryza sativa , having the common name Asian cultivated rice ,[ 2] is the much more common of the two rice species cultivated as a cereal , the other species being O. glaberrima , African rice. It was first domesticated in the Yangtze River basin in China 13,500 to 8,200 years ago.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
Oryza sativa belongs to the genus Oryza and the BOP clade in the grass family Poaceae . With a genome consisting of 430 Mbp across 12 chromosomes , it is renowned for being easy to genetically modify and is a model organism for the study of the biology of cereals and monocots .[ 7]
