Wild species of crops serve as a valuable germplasm resource for breeding of modern cultivars. Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is a vital global staple food. However, research on genome evolution and diversity of wild rice species remains limited. Here, we present nearly complete genomes of 13 representativ...
