Cover Story:
Genome sequencing and targeted genome editing have greatly deepened our understanding towards plant biology and enabled us to improve various agronomic traits of crop plants. To see into the future of rice breeding, BCAS invites a number of leading scientists in the field to share with us their own studies and how these studies will implicate and inspire the next-generation rice.
