Description
This book constists three chapters covering policies, strategies, and tools on breeding program and use of local rice varieties, the potential of swamps land for the expansion of rice cultivation areas and available technology, and genetic diversity of local rice in swamp area and their use and development for rice production for it’s contribution to food security. This book contains articles those have been presented at the national workshop on “Codevelopment and Transfer of Rice Technologies” held in Banjarbaru-South Kalimantan, Indonesia, 2019, and some others are purposively written for this book. The purpose of this book is to introduce the scientific community and policy maker, the diversity of landraces/local variety and their use in breeding program and in rice production in swamp land. The chapter one covered the limiting factor in increasing rice production in Indonesia, People Democratic Republic of Lao, Malaysia, and the Philippine, including their policies and strategies in rice breeding program. It was described that landraces/local rice varieties in every country are potential genetic materials that should be stepped forward their genetic by means of a breeding approach in parallel with their conservation
activities and preservation purposes. Research on genetic diversity supported molecular markers is required to facilitate the efficient use of local genetic resources.
