Abstract: In temperate areas, rice production may benefit from rising temperatures. However, in the majority of the world’s rice areas, crop production will suffer as a consequence of climate change unless measures for improved crop adaptation to rising temperature, submergence, salinization or drought are taken. Because of increasing water scarcity, there is a need to develop alternative systems that require less water. The above challenges can be met by exploiting genetic resources with conventional and biotechnological approaches to produce highly productive and well-adapted varieties. To mitigate threats to productivity posed by intensification, diversification, water shortages and climate changes will require innovative approaches to develop resource management and germplasm options
