Oryza CLIMtools: A genome-environment association resource reveals adaptive roles for heterotrimeric G proteins in the regulation of rice agronomic traits.

ABSTRACT: Modern crop varieties display a degree of mismatch between their current distributions and the suitability of the local climate for their productivity. To address this issue, we present Oryza CLIMtools (https://gramene.org/CLIMtools/oryza_v1.0/), the first resource for pan-genome prediction of climate-associated genetic variants in a crop species. Oryza CLIMtools consists of interactive web-based databases that enable the user to (1) explore the local environments of traditional rice varieties (landraces) in South-East Asia and (2) investigate the environment by genome associations for 658 Indica and 283 Japonica rice landrace accessions collected from georeferenced local environments and included in the 3K Rice Genomes Project. We demonstrate the value of these resources by identifying an
