Perennial Rice, as its name implies, is rice that can be harvested many years without reseeding, due to the regeneration of rhizome.Oryza longistaminata, is a perennial wild rice species from the same genus as cultivated rice, such as Oryza sativa. It is considered to be the ideal perenniality donor for perennial rice, as it has strong rhizome (vegetative propagation), and the same AA genome as Oryza sativa.
