Resumen
Descripción
Understanding and exploiting genetic diversity is a key factor for the productive and stable production of rice. Here, we utilize 73 high-quality genomes that encompass the subpopulation structure of Asian rice (Oryza sativa), plus the genomes of two wild relatives (O. rufipogonandO. punctata), to build a pan-genome inversion index of 1769 non-redundant inversions that span an average of ~29% of theO. sativacv. Nipponbare reference genome sequence. Using this index, we estimate an inversion rate of ~700 inversions per million years in Asian rice, which is 16 to 50 times higher than previously estimated for plants. Detailed analyses of these inversions show evidence of their effects on gene expression, recombination rate, and linkage disequilibrium. Our study uncovers the prevalence and scale of large inversions (≥100 bp) across the pan-genome of Asian rice and hints at their largely unexplored role in functional biology and crop performance.
