I am starting a project looking at the plant growth promoting abilities of microorganisms on rice. I am wanting to work with both subspecies of Oryza sativa (japonica and indica) but am having a difficult time finding which specific cultivars are most commonly grown.
Thank you for your guidance.
Asian rice (Oryza sativa) is most widely known and most widely grown, with two major subspecies and over 90,000 varieties.

This is a good book for your question.
Asian rice (Oryza sativa) is most widely known and most widely grown, with two major subspecies and over 90,000 varieties. Also included in this list are varieties of African rice (Oryza glaberrima) and wild rice (genus Zizania). Rice may vary in genetics, grain length, color, thickness, stickiness, aroma, growing method, and other characteristics, leading to a vast preponderance of varieties. source: WIKIPEDIA
Dear Koli,
You have taken your posting from Wiki
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rice_varieties
Whenever the wordings are not yours, you should give the source. If you do not give the source, then it amounts to plagiarism.
In IPNI there are only a few subspecies and varieties of Oryza sativa L.

The 90,000 varieties of Wiki must be cultivars.
Thanks Koli because you have taken my suggestion in a good sense.
