水稻作为主要作物种植已有 7000 多年的历史，目前它养活了世界一半以上的人口。水稻和许多其他食用植物都是单子叶植物——这些植物具有明显的重要性，但它们在发育的许多方面都与双子叶模式植物拟南芥不同。水稻研究的最新进展包括高效转化、高度饱和分子图谱的创建以及表达序列标签的大规模分析。事实上，水稻中分析的互补DNA数量已接近拟南芥中分析的数量。水稻已经达到可以被视为模式单子叶植物的程度。
Rice has been cultivated as a major crop for more than 7000 years, and it currently sustains more than half the world population. Rice and many other food plants are monocotyledons - such plants are of clear importance, and yet they are distinct from the dicotyledonous model plant Arabidopsis in many aspects of development. Recent advances in research on rice include efficient transformation, the creation of a highly saturated molecular map, and the large-scale analysis of expressed sequence tags, Indeed, the number of complementary DNAs analyzed in rice is approaching the number analyzed in Arabidopsis. Rice has reached the point where it can be usefully considered a model monocotyledonous plant.
