Africa has the world's fastest rate of population expansion, making it vulnerable to food shortages. Africa cultivates two types of rice (Asian rice; and African rice; ). Native African rice called has some intriguing characteristics, including resistance to several biotic and abiotic regional restrictions in Africa. However, is solely employed as a tool to increase the production of , which cannot grow in Africa, due to its low yield, lodging, grain breaking, and poor tissue culture ability. Enhancing breeding efforts for is therefore critically important. The protocols for transformation and regeneration, however, are mostly for and not . This study examines the present problems with transformation and regeneration for African rice species as well as potential solutions for using modern breeding methods in .
非洲拥有世界上最快的人口扩张速度，使其容易面临粮食短缺问题。非洲种植两种类型的水稻（亚洲稻和非洲稻）。非洲本土的水稻被称为，具有一些有趣的特点，包括对非洲的几种生物和非生物区域限制的抗性。然而，它仅被用作一种工具来增加不能在非洲生长的亚洲稻的产量，因为它的产量低、易倒伏、易断穗和组织培养能力差。因此，加强对的培育工作至关重要。然而，转化和再生的方案大多是针对的，而不是。本研究探讨了非洲稻种转化和再生的现有问题，以及在利用现代育种方法方面的潜在解决方案。
