As this is the final year of the ongoing project, progress and achievement in each country were summarized at the workshop held in Korea in October 2017. The representative achievement related to the use of ion beams are three new rice varieties released in Bangladesh (BINAdhan-14, -18 and -19). This result demonstrated that early maturity and short plant height are reasonable targets that can be achieved by ion beam breeding, and these improvements often result in the increase of the yield. The all participating countries confirmed that low-input sustainable agriculture is the most important theme in the future under dramatic climate change. They also agreed to start another five-year project entitled ‘Mutation Breeding of Major Crops for Low-input Sustainable Agriculture under Climate Change (2018-2022)’.}, title = {Ion Beam Breeding of Rice for the Mutation Breeding Project of the Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia(FNCA)}, year = {2019} }
