Acquiring a basic understanding of rice population improvement for use in Cuba
The foundation on which the Cuban rice programme could use population improvement through recurrent selection was formed in late 1996. Populations introduced and created in the country have been maintained until now. Moreover, population improvement based on phenotypic recurrent selection for resistance to blast and cold tolerance is also carried out. This chapter reports on how the foundation for recurrent selection was constructed; presents some preliminary results of strategies for population improvement and line development; and indicates the perspectives and future work plans of the Cuban rice genetic improvement programme.
