| This publication aims to document the progress made in the advance use of rice genetic resources in Latin America. It presents a series of theoretical and practical examples, written by experts in their field, of how novel use of a broad genetic base and application of population breeding methods can help push the rice crop's production beyond its current yield plateau. The international community, especially today, should seek to encourage the most efficient use of crop genetic resources. This publication provides examples on how this can be done. This technology is ready for transfer to any other rice-producing region and thus contribute to the world's food security. |
