I'm very interested in the field of plant science, especially about crops. Today, i'm prepared a research proposal for applying a scholarship from Indonesian government and M.Sc. program.
In my country (Indonesia), many rice cultivar are widely cultivated by local people. Many study was conducted for rice breeding and genetic improvement. And researcher who are studying wild rice still limited. So, i'm very interested to explore the germplasm of wild rice in Indonesia especially from swampland in Kalimantan island. I have some question:
Why studying about wild rice germplasm very important?
How to identify wild rice in their habitat based on morphological character?
Can anyone share a publication about wild rice?
Thanks for your response!
