KNOWLEDGE of the cytogenetic relationships between a cultivated species and its relatives has proved to be essential in utilizing the best available germ plasm in the most effective manner for the improvement of the cultivated species through plant breeding. Despite the ancientness of rice cultivation and the extremely important position of this plant as a world food crop, there have been relatively few thorough studies of the cytogenetic relationship between the cultivated rice species, Oryza sativa L. and wild forms of this genus. Furthermore, even among the limited number of reports, contradictions in the way of results obtained and conclusions drawn can be found. Consequently, there is an obvious need for systematic, intensive studies of cytogenetic relationships in the genus
