Systematic field survey and collection of plant genetic resources were, however, not so intensively organized there. A limited number of explorations were organized by IRRI in early 1990s, by JICA Seedbank Project during 1997 to 2002, and by NIAS Genebank Project from 1999 to 2005. A field exploration was planned and carried out to investigate and collect genetic variation of upland rice, small millets, pulses, ginger and turmeric in Kachin State in cooperation of scientists of Tsukuba University (Japan), National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (Japan) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (Myanmar) from November 14 to December 1, 2006. This field research was funded by a Grand-in-Aid for Overseas Scientific Research of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan. Even though our botanical trip was not so smoothly carried out as planned mainly due to severe road conditions caused by unexpected weather, we successfully surveyed a wide range of areas in Kachin State, and collected 90 samples of plant genetic resources.
