Chief Scientific Officer (CSO)
Genetic Resources and Seed Division, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Gazipur-1701

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Objective of this project was to collect cultivated and wild rice germplasm from unexplored areas especially from hilly, coastal, haor and other areas of Bangladesh and document the collected rice germplasm for different uses. Rice germplasm were collected and conserved from hilly, coastal, haor and other areas of Bangladesh. About 100 percent of the targeted areas in Aus season, 90 percent in Aman season and 80 percent in Boro season was explored during the reporting period.

1.	Budget: 1936716

Total Budget (Tk.) : 1936716

Achievement/Findings:

1. Out of 1078 collected samples 667 were identified as new collection at preliminary stage after duplicate sorting on the basis of same name and seed morphology. 2. The passport data of the new collections were documented on the basis of the origin, habitat characteristics and photograph of the grain. 3. 162 samples were rejuvenated, characterized morphologically and seed increased for further storage. 4. About 400 samples are expected to be new germplasm after cross check with the BRRI gene bank collections after growing and characterization.
