Part 2: http://youtu.be/xzzvCkgDoCg Part 3: http://youtu.be/w2t5xiJvMQ4 Genetic diversity is the foundation for all crop improvement. Knowledge of multiple facets of rice genetic diversity, from molecule to phenotype, is essential for effective conservation and use. Using disease resistance as an example, Hei Leung, Principal Scientist, Plant Breeding, Genetics, and Biotechnology Division, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; http://irri.org) looks back to see how genetic diversity has been used to manage diseases and how smart gene combinations can be used to achieve stable and 'durable' resistance. As both biotic and abiotic environments are fast-changing, more genetic options are needed for the future. New and cost-effective sequencing technologies have made it possible to pursue "population genomics" with the power to predict gene-phenotype relationships. Dr. Leung discusses ways of using a genetic diversity platform to enable rapid mobilization of genetic resources to meet changing needs. This platform requires investment in (a) modernizing phenotyping methods in scope and scale, (b) creating specialized genetic stocks to complement the diversity maintained in the Genebank, and (c) a bioinformatics capability to integrate and use large-scale data.

IRRI's International Rice Genebank: ensuring long-term preservation of rice genetic diversity

Order: Reorder
Duration: 5:40
Updated: 30 Sep 2013

The International Rice Genebank, maintained by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; http://irri.org), holds more than 117,000 types of rice, including modern and traditional varieties, and wild relatives of rice. It is the biggest collection of rice genetic diversity in the world. Countries from all over the world sent their rice to IRRI for safe keeping, and for sharing for the common public good. Traditional varieties and the wild species of rice are being lost through genetic erosion. Farmers adopt new varieties, and cease growing the varieties that they have nurtured for generations and eventually lose these varieties. Wild species are threatened with extinction as their habitats are destroyed by human disturbance. Future crop improvement needs the genetic variation from traditional varieties and related wild species to cope with the many biotic and abiotic stresses that challenge rice production around the world. IRRI works to ensure the long-term preservation of rice biodiversity as a part of the global strategy for the conservation of rice genetic resources in partnership with national programs and regional and international organizations worldwide, including through the International Rice Genebank.
