You have reached the IRRI Genebank, where your rice science journey begins. Home to more than 132,000 available accessions which includes cultivated species, wild relatives and species from related genera.


Accessions included in the publication
Beatriz Andreo-Jimenez, Philippe Vandenkoornhuyse, Amandine L� Van, Arvid Heutinck1, Marie Duhamel, Niteen Kadam, Krishna Jagadish, Carolien Ruyter-Spira and Harro Bouwmeester. 2019. Plant host and drought shape the root associated fungal microbiota in rice. DOI: DOI 10.7717/peerj.7463. Note: Ten out of the 15 cultivars were selected to maximize the genetic variation using the SNP information available from a published study (Zhao et al., 2011). The five additional cultivars were selected based on their drought tolerance phenotype, and their information is available in IRGCIS database:; institution: IRRI
