| Coordinating organisation: | International Rice Research Institute |
| Description: | Goal: Contribution to cultivar improvement for biotic stress tolerance using biotechnology Outputs: - To use transgenic rice with resistance to yellow stem borer and sheath blight - To use transgenic rice products for field testing in collaboration with NARS - To use QTL analysis and marker-aided selection for quantitative traits such as brown plant hopper and sheath blight resistance - To produce improved rice cultivars with reduced yield gaps through using biotechnology to overcome problems of conventional breeding methods such as difficulties in repeatable |
