Aromatic rice is considered a significant commodity in the global market due to its distinctive fragrance and high-quality attributes for both consumption and cooking. It has been reported that the fragrance in rice is controlled by the Badh2 gene located on chromosome 8 (Amarawathi et al. , 2008; Peng et al., 2018). Using the 1k RiCA mid-density genotyping panel for rice (Arbalaez et al., 2019), which includes the DarTSNP marker fgr_1, also known as BADH2.1-7 marker, the Rice Biodiversity Center (RCBA) team conducted the genotyping of 593 Oryza sp. Accessions via the DArTseq-based genotyping by sequencing (GBS) technology. The results allowed them to identify a subset of 15 accessions possessing the fgr gene, which encodes the BADH homolog 2 (badh2). All originating from 12 countries, this RCBA aromatic rice mini collection consists of 5 Oryza sativa japonica subspecies and 13 belonging to indica subspecies.
