Abstract: Adaptations to different habitat have shaped the rice landraces into distinct ecotypes with special characteristics. Elucidation of those differences both phenotypically and genotypically is required for the proper categorization of rice germplasms and for choosing the base population in various breeding programs. Preservation of landraces with special adaptive trait and typical end uses will help in the sustenance of the Indian agrarian system.
