Rice is one of the worlds major staple crops. There is a massive challenge in increasing crop production to meet the population demand in face of climate change and diminishing resources. Green Super Rice (GSR), which was proposed for promoting resource saving and environment friendly in rice production, while still achieving yield increase and quality improvement, is becoming the goal for agricultural research and crop improvement worldwide. A large number of genes identified for the important agronomic traits such as high yield, good quality, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and nutrient-use efficiency have provided a rich source for progressively developing GSR varieties by using the molecular design and genome-based selection. This paper presents an overview of the recent achievements and perspectives in the theoretical and applied GSR.
