We are looking to run a quick experiment with rice, but we are having trouble finding seeds in the UK. Any advice or donations on where we can get some Oryza sativa seeds would be very greatly appreciated.
I am also working on rice but in the US not in the UK. You can order from International Rice Research Institute, Philippines. They will send you what type of rice genotypes you want to work on. You just need to request the seeds what you want. Here is link-
also working on Rice but in Ghana. In additional to the suggestion of Sir Anuj Kumar, you can also order from Africa Rice Centre, Bouake, Ivoiry Coast. Online with the name of the institution, you can easily find the email adress of the head of their genbank and then send your request.
Beside the African Rice Centre I would suggest looking to IRRI International Rice Center Los Banos Phillipines. Commericially in the United States commercial varieties including hybrids are available.
I am also working on rice but in Brazil not in the UK. You can order from IRGA ( Instituto Rio Grandense do Arroz ) it is the most important Rice Institute in Brazil. They will send you what type of rice genotypes you want to work on. You just need to request the seeds what you want.
Here is address: Instituto Rio Grandense do Arroz Av: Agro Bonifácio Carvalho Bernardes, 1494 Estação Experimental do Arroz Cachoeirinha Rio Grande do Sul ZIP:94930-030 A/C in my name.
