| Coordinating organisation: | International Rice Research Institute |
| Description: | Goal: To increase and stabilize food productivity and enhance livelihood and food security in saltaffected areas through salt-tolerant rice varieties. Purpose: - To develop and distribute to NARES varieties possessing QTLs for enhanced tolerance of salt stress, together with accompanying management options, for dissemination, with the potential to double yield under stress conditions in target areas - to provide NARES with varieties combining tolerance of submergence and salinity for coastal areas. |
