Oryza sativa indica is a subspecies of the Oryza sativa (commonly known as rice) species. Rice is a major food staple of the world's population, and after the sequencing of the monot model species Oryza sativa japonica, BGI sequenced the indica variety. Both subspecies are of course highly similar in genomic content.
