Wild rice

Japanese: 野生稲 - やせいとう(英語表記)wild rice
Wild rice
This refers to wild plants of the rice genus Oryza . Currently, about 20 species are known in the world, and they grow wild in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Central and South America. The two cultivated types of rice are believed to have originated from some of these wild rice species. The widely cultivated rice (Asian rice) O. sativa L. is believed to have originated from O. perennis Moench, while the African rice (O. glaberrima Steud.), which is cultivated in limited areas of Africa, is believed to have originated from O. breviligulata Chev.et Roehr.

イネ属Oryzaの野生植物をいう。現在世界で約20種が知られており,アジア,アフリカ,オセアニアおよび中南米の熱帯から亜熱帯の地域に広く自生している。栽培される2種類のイネはこれら野生稲の一部のものから生じたとされる。世界的に広く栽培されているイネ(アジアイネ)O.sativa L.はO.perennis Moenchから,またアフリカの限られた地域で栽培されているアフリカイネO.glaberrima Steud.はO.breviligulata Chev.et Roehr.からそれぞれ由来したとする見方が有力である。
