Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Oryza rufipogon grows in shallow water, irrigated fields, pools, ditches and sites with stagnant or slow, running water. It occurs at altitudes from 0 to 1000 m and is suited to sites that support populations of cultivated rice.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: No
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: It is a reservoir of many resistant genes necessary for the cultivated rice. It is from this species that the cultivated rice Oryza sativa was domesticated. Hence, it is used for rice breeding and research.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): There are no major threats to the population of this species. It is being actively controlled in many areas as it competes with the cultivated rice.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: It is considered important to conserve germplasm of this species as ancestor of cultivated rice. In China, a program on in-situ conservation has been started.
