Abstract

Rice production is a critical component of global food security. To date, rice is grown in over 100 countries and is the primary source of food for more than 3 billion people. Despite its importance, rice production is facing numerous challenges that threaten its future viability. One of the primary problems is the advent of climate change. The changing climatic conditions greatly affect the growth and productivity of rice crop and the quality of rice yield. Similarly, biotic stresses brought about by pathogen and pest infestations are greatly affecting the productivity of rice. To address these issues, the utilization of rice genetic resources is necessary to map, identify, and understand the genetics of important agronomic traits. This review paper highlights the role of rice genetic resources for developing high-yielding and stress-tolerant rice varieties. The integration of genetic, genomic, and phenomic tools in rice breeding programs has led to the development of high-yielding and stress-tolerant rice varieties. The collaboration of multidisciplinary teams of experts, sustainable farming practices, and extension services for farmers is essential for accelerating the development of high-yielding and stress-tolerant rice varieties.
