The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for sharing research expertise and networking. During the workshop, early career researchers will have the opportunity to present their research in the form of short presentations and discuss these with established researchers from the UK and VietNam. The workshop will facilitate collaborations, build capacity and enable implementation of molecular techniques to identify traits for drought and salt tolerance with an end goal of generating new stress tolerant rice for the Mekong Delta region. This will facilitate collaborative research opportunities for VietNam and UK scientists and aims to provide farmers and management agencies with the technologies and knowledge that will improve food security in the Mekong Delta and VietNam more generally. BACKGROUND The Mekong delta is VietNam’s main rice producing area, accounting for half of the country’s annual rice production. The Delta’s rice land use is divided into agro-hydrological zones that are controlled by hydrology, especially drought frequency and salinity regimes. Over the last 30 years Vietnamese farmers have been adapting to changing environmental conditions by modifying and diversifying their production systems and water management. However significant constraints limit the ability of farmers to adapt to the new hydrological regimes. These constraints include; the availability of suitable cultivars, soil nutrient management options, a lack of knowledge of the potential threats from acid sulphate soil inundation and also the lack of suitable planning tools. LONG TERM OBJECTIVES 1. The overall aim is to increase the adaptive capacity of rice production systems in the Mekong Delta Region to enable high, resilient, crop yields. 2. To provide researchers, farmers and management agencies with the technologies and knowledge that will improve food security in the Mekong Delta. 3. To develop new field phenotyping technologies in the Mekong Delta provinces to identify traits for salt and drought tolerance in rice. 4. To develop collaborations that will lead to trait characterisation for resistance to abiotic stresses and enable effective deployment of these traits into breeding materials. 5. To develop capacity for effective Marker-Assisted Breeding programmes in the Mekong Delta Region to assist in delivery of the new traits. 6. Facilitate collaborations for future joint research activities between the UK and VietNam. 7. To begin long-term scientific engagement of workshop participants for the good of both countries. 2 DEVELOPING ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANCE RICE WORKSHOP THE WORKSHOP – A STARTING POINT The workshop will enhance the capacity of the VietNam partners in Marker-Assisted Breeding and Phenotyping/Identification of traits for stress resilience, enabling the VietNam partners to become a centre of excellence and dissemination for Rice Breeding, with support and collaboration from the UK. It will also introduce the UK partners to the current issues which face practical implementation of new technologies and their ‘real world’ context. • It will address technical approaches for incorporating Marker-Assisted Breeding into existing rice improvement programmes. • Focus will also be on identification of traits for abiotic stress resilience in field and controlled environment conditions by high-throughput screening approaches. • Emphasis will be paid to data analysis from the approaches, using UoN Centre for Integrative Biology (CPIB) expertise (many UK participants are members). This will include image analysis, but also bioinformatics and comparative analyses to assist in trait characterisation.
