- Abstract
Commercial rice production in California has been underway since 1912 initially relying on selections from japonica plant introductions from Japan and China followed by release of the founding medium grain Calrose in 1948. The establishment of a grower-funded accelerated rice breeding program at the Rice Experiment Station in 1969 has supported California rice production with the release of 45 rice cultivars including medium-, short-, long-grains as well as specialty market types. Support, structure, methods, and objectives of the RES Rice Breeding Program are described.
