The study delves into the genetic diversity and adaptability of wild rice, revealing its immense potential in rice breeding. Utilizing molecular marker techniques, we gained profound insights into the genetic diversity of the wild rice genome, providing a valuable genetic foundation for breeding. Wild rice exhibits exceptional adaptability, and its performance in terms of stress resistance and environmental adaptation lends theoretical support to its application in breeding. Particularly in rice breeding, harnessing wild rice genes has emerged as a crucial avenue for enhancing both crop yield and stress resistance. The utilization of gene-editing and transgenic technologies presents innovative possibilities in this regard. On the conservation front, emphasis is placed on strengthening the protection of the native habitats of wild rice, advocating for the establishment of a global wild rice gene bank, and fostering public awareness through education and outreach. This comprehensive understanding provides scientific guidance and a sustainable development path for future rice breeding and the preservation of wild rice germplasm resources.
