MATSUSHIMA (e-mail: [email protected]) Summary Under the Plant Genetic Resources in Asia (PGRAsia) project, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and Cambodian Agricultural Research and Department Institute (CARDI) have conducted several collaborative explorations in Cambodia since 2014. As part of the project, we surveyed and gathered plant genetic resources in Southern Cambodia from October 1 to 10, 2019. In the survey, we explored the genetic resources in 14 districts of Southern Cambodia in Svay Rieng, Pery Veng, Kandal, Phnom Penh, Kampong Speu, Preah Sihanouk, Koh Kong, Kampot, and Takeo provinces and collected 85 accessions from farmers’ storages, back yards, or fields. The accessions corresponded to Solanaceae (34), Cucurbitaceae (35), Fabaceae (8), and Amaranthaceae (8). Among 34 Solanaceae accessions, 29 were from C. frutescens. As the present study was conducted in a flood-prone area, vegetable cultivation during the rainy season was low, and flood-tolerant luffa and hyacinth bean were considered important vegetables for cultivation. The collected seeds were divided equally, and half the seeds were conserved at CARDI in Cambodia. The other half was transferred to the Genetic Resources Center, NARO, Japan, under the standard material transfer agreement. KEY WORDS: Cambodia, Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae, Amaranthaceae Introduction The Plant Genetic Resource Asia (PGR Asia) project Plant genetic resources are important for was conducted by the National Agriculture and Food improving traits such as pest and disease resistance, Research Organization (NARO) in collaboration with poor environmental condition tolerance, and high yield. the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development - 128 - Institute (CARDI) since 2014. Cambodia. Previous explorations had been carried out by Tanaka et al. (2016), Sreynech et al. (2016), and Methods Matsushima et al. (2018) to explore Eastern Cambodia A field survey was conducted from October 1 while Matsunaga et al. (2015) and Takahashi et al. to 10, 2019 in Southern Cambodia, including Svay (2015) explored Western and Northwest Cambodia. The Rieng, Pery Veng, Kondal, Phnom Penh, Kampong northern region of Cambodia was explored by Sugita Speu, Preah Sihanouk, Koh Kong, Kampot, and Takeo et al. (2017), Tanaka et al. (2017), and Kondo et al. provinces (Table 1, Fig. 1). We visited farmers’ houses (2019). However, Southern Cambodia was explored only using two vehicles. We could not reach some of the by Matsunaga et al. (2018), and the collected samples places by car because of narrow and flooded roads. At were relatively less than the other three regions. Under that time, we reached those farmers’ places on foot. the PGR Asia project, Shinshu University has already During the interviews, we clarified that most of the explored North, East, and West Cambodia, except in the farmers cultivated imported and improved varieties.

Therefore, it is necessary to explore and Therefore, we were careful to collect only local collect more genetic resources in Southern Cambodia. varieties of seeds produced by farmers themselves. In The objective of this survey was to explore and collect this survey, we mainly focused on chili pepper under plant genetic resources, mainly Solanaceous (especially the Solanaceae family, and other vegetables belonging Capsicum spp.) and Cucurbitaceous families, in Southern to the Cucurbitaceae family.

    Cambodia Page 1 of 20 Cambodia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy with an elected government and a population of approximately 13.8 million. Following elections in 2003, in 2004 the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, and the National United Front for a Neutral, Peaceful, Cooperative, and Independent Cambodia (FUNCINPEC), led by Prince Norodom Ranariddh, formed a coalition government. However, the CPP dominated the three branches of government and other national institutions, with most power concentrated in the hands of the prime minister. Although the civilian authorities nominally controlled the security forces, in practice security forces answered to the CPP leadership. The government's human rights record remained poor. Government agents committed extrajudicial killings, and security forces acted with impunity. There was little political will to address the failure by government authorities to adhere to the rule of law. Detainees were abused, often to extract confessions, and prison conditions were harsh. Human rights monitors reported arbitrary arrests and prolonged pretrial detention, underscoring a weak judiciary and denial of the right to a fair trial. Land disputes and forced evictions, often accompanied by violence, were a growing problem. The government restricted freedom of speech and press through the use of defamation and disinformation suits, controlled or influenced the content of television and radio broadcasts, and sometimes interfered with freedom of assembly. Corruption was endemic and extended throughout all segments of society, including the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.
