Rice genetics V : proceedings of the Fifth International Rice Genetics Symposium, the Philippines, 19-23 November 2005 /

Rice is now the model plant for genetic research on crop plants; and those who work on rice do so not only to help grow and eat it, but also to advance the frontiers of genetics and molecular biology. Progress made in the last 20 years, since the first International Rice Genetics Symposium (IRGS), h...
