The joint initiative stands to deliver a huge amount of data from the genome sequences of the 1001 Philippine TRVs. This will be made available to the public via the PH Rice GDB. From strengthening local expertise in crop genomics and bioinformatics, to providing more research opportunities—the program anticipates its potential in increasing and strengthening research output and capacity. The 1001 Rice Genome (1k1RG) Program is a promise to the future of rice in the Philippines as it ultimately aims to benefit farmers through accelerating the improvement and production of rice varieties.
