A pdf document describing the Flagship Project in detail: RICE Flagship 4

Link to CGIAR Research Program (CRP) homepage

Goal

The main goal of this Flagship (4) set of Clusters of Activities (5) is to establish a Global Rice Array to provide rice breeders worldwide with genomics (genotypes), phenomics, and environmental information, as well as targeted ideotypes, in order to generate adapted varieties at a faster rate.

Objectives

• • Establish a Global Rice Array of well characterized field laboratories and trial sites and equipped to carry out multi-environment trials

  • Provide breeders information on yield potential and the effects of biotic/abiotic factors on yield variability by environment and varietal type

  • Generate phenomics data resources for multiple environments and climatic conditions and genomics data on the tested panels

  • Accelerate gene and trait discovery in order to help optimize the use of genetic diversity under different climatic scenarios

  • Deploy technologies adapted to specific environments based on knowledge of specific features of future rice production environments
