Article Synopsis
- Genetic variations in 179 rice accessions from Cambodia were analyzed based on heading dates, chromosome components, and resistance to blast disease.
- Dominant accessions showed early heading in the North East region, medium heading in Central, and late heading in the South East along the Mekong River, while greater variation was found around Tonle Sap Lake.
- Accessions were classified into Japonica and Indica groups, with distinct resistance levels observed in different regions, and significant differences noted between those along the Mekong River and those near Tonle Sap Lake.
Reducing water requirements and lowering environmental footprints require attention to minimize risks to food security. The present study was conducted with the aim to identify appropriate root traits enhancing rice grain yield under alternate wetting and drying conditions (AWD) and identify stable, high-yielding genotypes better suited to the AWD across variable ecosystems. Advanced breeding lines, popular rice varieties and drought-tolerant lines were evaluated in a series of 23 experiments conducted in the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Cambodia in 2015 and 2016.
