This document discusses climate-smart agriculture approaches being developed and implemented in Southeast Asia. It summarizes research on developing climate-resilient rice varieties through conventional breeding and biotechnology. Key points include: - Researchers are using marker-assisted breeding to transfer genes for submergence tolerance and salt tolerance from landraces into commercial rice varieties. - Multiple trait varieties are being developed that combine tolerances for stresses like submergence, drought, and salinity. - Biotechnology research includes developing rice varieties biofortified with nutrients like zinc and iron through genetic engineering. Genome editing is also being used to improve iron content. - Other biotechnologies being explored include genome association mapping, RNA interference
