Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the world's major staple food crops. Domestication of rice (species of genus Oryza) likely occurred independently three times, in Asia, Africa and South America. The rice which originated in Asia (O. sativa L.) became a global food crop, and today supports half the world's population. Due to its importance for global food security, Asian rice has been widely studied. Yet, despite the importance of Asian Rice, African Rice (glaberrima Steud), is still cultivated and consumed in many African countries. Although, African rice has some unfavorable traits leading to low yields, it is better suited for environments such as deep-water lowlands and in drought-prone regions.
