“…Rice (Oryza sativa L.), which belongs to the family Oryzeae, is an annual plant which is herbaceous, erect, superficially rooted, strong, and white (Xu et al, 2014;Rasooli Sharabiani and Khorramifar, 2022;Yinian et al, 2022). Rice is a staple food for about 2.5 billion people around the world and provides nearly 20% of the required energy and 15% of the protein requirements of these people (Qamar et al, 2013;Li et al, 2022). In general terms, tropical and subtropical countries such as Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, India, the United States, Japan, Italy, Egypt, China, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and Australia are the largest rice producers in the world.…”
