Wild rice is the closely related wild relatives of cultivated rice. Wild rice provides natural genetic germplasm resources for improving cultivated rice varieties as it possesses many desirable traits and favorable genes, many of which, such as resistance to diseases and insect pests, tolerance to different kinds of stresses and its cytoplasmic male sterility, have been widely used in cultivated rice breeding. In this paper, favorable traits of wild rice germplasm resources and the related genes were summarized, and their utilization potential in rice breeding were also discussed.
野生稻是栽培稻的近缘野生亲缘物种。野生稻具有许多优良性状和有利基因，为改良栽培稻品种提供了天然的遗传种质资源，其中许多性状，如抗病虫性、对不同胁迫的耐受性及其细胞质雄性不育性等，已在栽培稻育种中得到广泛应用。本文综述了野生稻种质资源的优良性状及相关基因，并探讨了其在水稻育种中的利用潜力。
