Tanaka, Atsushi; Nozawa, Shigeki; Hase, Yoshihiro; Narumi, Issei; Ishikawa, Hidetaka*; Koike, Aki*

For the spread of radiation application and development of ion beam breeding technique, ion beams have been utilized under the Mutation Breeding Project of the Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia (FNCA). As the Sub-Project on Composition or Quality in Rice, utilization of ion beam has been started in 2009. Eight participant countries, i.e., Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam joined the ion beam irradiation with rice seeds. In general, hulled dry seeds of a rice cultivar of participant country were irradiated with 320 MeV carbon ion beam in TIARA. After irradiation, seeds were rightly sent back to the participant countries and grown to obtain the offspring. In 2010, most of participant countries were able to decide the best doses for mutation induction and some countries have also carried out harvesting of M2-M3 plants and their screening.
