A five-day national training program was conducted in Tanzania, in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to build capacity among researchers and interns in developing rice varieties with resistance to rice blast and salinity tolerance. The training focused on mutation induction techniques to speed up rice breeding programs, potentially increasing rice productivity and production. Topics covered included sources of irradiation, radio-sensitivity testing in rice, and advanced breeding techniques. The training was marked by interactive learning, including lectures, group activities, and plenary discussions.
