Oryza glaberrima Freshly harvested rice is moist, and can be puffed in fire, and eaten. Fried rice have browny color when fried this is because of the husk that is green in color when heated turns brown. African rice can be prepared in much the same way as Asian rice, but has a distinct nutty flavour, for which it is favoured in West Africa. African rice grains are often reddish in colour; some varieties are strongly aromatic, other, like Carolina Gold, are not at all aromatic. African rice is also used medicinally. African rice is a tall rice plant, usually under 120
Plant genome assembly products were used to clone remaining gaps, and YACs allowed the characterization of telomere sequences. The resulting sequenced regions were 115.4 Mb of the 125 Mb predicted size of the genome and a total of 25,498 of protein-coding genes. To sequence and assemble the genome of Oryza Sativa (japonica), the same strategy was used. For Oryza Sativa a total of 3,401 mapped clones in a minimum tiling path were selected from the physical map and assembled. One of the most important crops in the world, maize (Zea mays), is the last plant genome project primarily based on Sanger BAC-by-BAC strategy.
