The USDA Genetic Stocks – Oryza (GSOR) Collection at DBNRRC serves as distribution center for genetic mutants and molecularly characterized genetic resources that are important to the rice research community. These genetic stocks have been created using specialized techniques such as induced mutation and cross-breeding.  The GSOR program is responsible for storing, maintaining, documenting, and distributing (free of charge) these materials to the scientific community for use in genetic and genomic research. Ultimately these materials will aid in the understanding of the genetic control of traits that can be used to enhance the development of new cultivars that meet the needs of the U.S. rice industry

Please note that usually only small amounts of rice genetic stocks seeds are distributed.  You are encouraged to also look at the National Small Grains Collection (NSGC) for the same accession, where 5 grams of seed are distributed.  NSGC website:  https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/search.aspx 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT DISCLAIMER:
