Abstract

A recent study by Sedeek et al. provides multiomic resources that illustrate the genetic diversity, metabolites, elemental composition, and the possibility of agronomic trait improvement, through genome-editing technology, for nutrient-rich pigmented rice. This will guide future rice breeding programs for balancing optimal agronomic traits and excellent nutritional quality.

Keywords: artificial selection; breeding; genetic diversity; nutritional quality; pigmented rice.
