This paper reviewed the contributions of Japan to rice research through its partnership with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), which started in 1960. Japanese scientists were seconded to work at the IRRI headquarters or hired as full-time staff to conduct rice research in the fields of breeding, pathology, physiology, agronomy, and social sciences. Among them is Dr. Akira Tanaka who played a key role in the development of IR8, a rice variety credited for paving the way for the first Green Revolution. To disseminate research outputs from agronomic research on rainfed rice in Asia to farmers, IRRI developed an ICT-based decision support systems (i.e. weather-rice-nutrient integrated decision support system or WeRise) which are ideal platform to enable farmers to access database from various fields of rice research. These web-based technologies are also accessible through mobile devices. Web-based technologies can help accumulate big data that can be used to promote data-driven solutions and enable informed decision-making to help rice farmers adapt to current and future climate. Analysis of big data from various web-based technologies is still a researchable area where IRRI and Japan can work together to exploit valuable information from past researches and further contribute to sustainable development through rice research.

The aim of this review was to give an overview regarding key points of potato germplasm enhancement associated with the International Potato Center and its global research-for-development partners including feedback from technology and germplasm recipients. Highlights were addressed on the participation by Japanese scholars to CIP. Also, specific impacts were raised on the Japanese research contribution on potato research for technology application and development for the partner countries by co-working with key Japanese organizations. Special reference was made to research on genetic underpinnings and technology development for enhancing the introgression and incorporation of traits that were not available in the primary potato breeding pools. The use of genetic engineering was also judged and in particular for its potential to address global uses. Future outlook was also provided for hinting Japanese participation to the international agriculture.

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) aims to improve human livelihoods, especially smallholder farmers’ livelihoods, through wheat and maize production mainly in the developing world. The first Japanese person to work at CIMMYT was an intern in 1970 according to existing CIMMYT documents. Since then, at least 10 interns or mid to long-term visiting students and 14 appointed or visiting researchers from Japanese institutes have worked on wheat and maize research at CIMMYT. Some Japanese board members and one Japanese Director General also contributed to the direction of CIMMYT’s research. i The Japanese researchers and intern students have contributed greatly to CIMMYT research and to world food production. The research includes maize germplasm genebank, rapid breeding/doubled haploid technology for wheat, durable disease resistance in wheat, wheat wild relatives for heat/drought tolerance and a new trait of biological nitrification inhibition and wheat fusarium head blight resistance. The outlook for global wheat and maize supply has not been optimistic and will become worse in the future due to an increasing world population, the impacts of heat and drought and the spread of new diseases caused by climate change. The scientific achievements left by Japanese scientists at CIMMYT can play an important role in mitigating these problems. Discipline: Crop Science Additional key words: genetic resources, durable resistance, doubled haploid, wild species, biological nitrification inhibition
