Development of genomic and genetic resources facilitating molecular genetic studies on untapped Myanmar rice germplasms.

ABSTRACT: To counteract the growing population and climate changes, resilient varieties adapted to regional environmental changes are required. Landraces are valuable genetic resources for achieving this goal. Recent advances in sequencing technology have enabled national seed/gene banks to share genomic and genetic information from their collections including landraces, promoting the more efficient utilization of germplasms. In this study, we developed genomic and genetic resources for Myanmar rice germplasms. First, we assembled a diversity panel consisting of 250 accessions representing the genetic diversity of Myanmar indica varieties, including an elite lowland variety, Inn Ma Yebaw (IMY). Our population genetic analyses illustrated that the diversity panel represented Myanmar indica<
