Rice is a versatile carbohydrate essential to diets worldwide and a staple food for over 50% of the human population. However, climate change is threatening rice's wide availability. This joint project between the RBG Kew and the Earlham institute aims to understand how modern agriculture has impacted rice genetic diversity. Genetic diversity in local landraces and across historic collections will be measured. Their genetic makeup will be investigated and deleterious mutations that hinder the further improvement of rice and its adaptation to future climates will be quantified.

大米是一种多功能的碳水化合物，是世界各地饮食中必不可少的，也是超过50%的人类人口的主食。然而，气候变化正在威胁大米的广泛供应。这个由RBG Kew和Earlham研究所联合开展的项目旨在了解现代农业是如何影响水稻遗传多样性的。将测量当地地方种族和历史收藏品的遗传多样性。将对它们的基因构成进行调查，并对阻碍水稻进一步改良及其适应未来气候的有害突变进行量化。
