Rice (Oryza sativa) is a major staple food crop for more than 3.5 billion people worldwide. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of complex agronomic traits in rice is critical for global food security. Rice is also a model plant for genomics research of monocotyledons. Thanks to the rapid development of functional genomic technologies, over 2000 genes controlling important agronomic traits have been cloned, and their molecular biological mechanisms have also been partially characterized. Here, we briefly review the advances in rice functional genomics research during the past 10 years, including a summary of functional genomics platforms, genes and molecular regulatory networks that regulate important agronomic traits, and newly developed tools for gene identification. These achievements made in functional genomics research will greatly facilitate the development of green super rice. We also discuss future challenges and prospects of rice functional genomics research.
水稻（Oryza sativa）是全球超过 35 亿人的主要主食作物。了解水稻复杂农艺性状的调控机制对于全球粮食安全至关重要。水稻也是单子叶植物基因组学研究的模式植物。得益于功能基因组学技术的快速发展，已经克隆了 2000 多个控制重要农艺性状的基因，其分子生物学机制也得到了部分阐明。在这里，我们简要回顾了过去 10 年水稻功能基因组学研究的进展，包括功能基因组学平台的总结、调控重要农艺性状的基因和分子调控网络，以及新开发的基因鉴定工具。这些功能基因组学研究的成果将极大地促进绿色超级稻的发展。我们还讨论了水稻功能基因组学研究的未来挑战和前景。
