With the information explosion on rice research, a need was felt for another exclusive journal on rice for speedy publication of research findings.  We are pleased to place in the hands of the readers the first issue of the Journal of Rice Research.  Abstracts of all the invited papers and the full papers presented by some of the lead speakers at the International Symposium “Green Revolution to Gene Revolution” held at Hyderabad, India during October 4-6, 2004 have been included in this issue.  These are mini review articles giving present status on various aspects of rice research.
