Rice Breeding ProjectThe primary objective of the Rice Breeding Project is the development of superior varieties for the Louisiana rice industry. The Breeding Project is developing improved genotypes of both long and medium grain types, which are both important in the state and region. The project is also placing major emphasis on the development of specialty purpose types. Dr. Steve Linscombe is the senior rice breeder. Dr. Xueyan Sha and Dr. Brooks Blanche are also breeders in the project.
