Objective
International Conference on Rice Genetic resources and Breeding for Europe and other temperate areas, Krasnodar (Russia), September 2001. This conference will be a unique forum for interaction among the scientific and technical communities from U.E Countries, States in pre-accession to the E. U., NIS and CEECs Countries not in the pre-accession phase, dealing with breeding, production and development of the commodity chain for rice. The concerned area exceeds one million ha. Based on the results obtained by the U.E. project RESS GEN 037, this conference aims at :
i) preparing the collection and characterization of the whole genetic resources in possession of Eastern countries in order to make them available to all European breeding teams :
ii) analysing the best ways for the valorisation of these genetic resources, in combination with modern biotechnologies.
It should strongly contribute to meet the issues the European rice production is facing:
increasing demand in quality and in quantity;
competitiveness with big producer countries in Asia ;
suitable development of European producing rice regions which are economically and ecologically fragile.
