安徽省水稻地方品种资源极为丰富。这些品种因在当地栽培历史悠久,适应性强,产量稳定,曾对水稻生产起了一定的作用。五十年代初期至六十年代中期,我们就曾重点研究了4,700份农家品种。十年动乱期间,这些水稻品种资源及其资料几乎全部丧失。从1981年开始又重新进行了补充征集和整理工作。目前,共存有水稻地方品种656份(包括重复),其中早籼290份,中粳6份, Anhui Province is rich in local variety of rice resources. These cultivars have played a certain role in rice production because of their long history of cultivation in the area, their adaptability and their stable yield. From the early 1950s to the mid 1960s, we focused on 4,700 farmer cultivars. During the decade of turmoil, almost all of these rice variety resources and their information have been lost. Since 1981, it has re-started the process of collecting and arranging re-collection. At present, there are 656 rice landraces (including duplicates), of which 290 are indica rice, 6 are japonica rice,
