Diverse genetic variation in maternal lineages with high heterogeneity among -conserved wild rice ( Griff.) developed in Thailand.

Wild rice, , is a genetic resource that can be used to improve cultivated rice, but its populations are now decreasing in terms of both size and number. Extensive research on wild rice has been conducted in Thailand, where two conservation sites have been preserved in natural areas where perennial wild rice predominates. The genetic structure of wild rice populations was investigated by examining both the chloroplast and nucleus genomes at sites of conservation site in Thailand.
