Asia contributes about 670 million tons of rice to world production annually, which is approximately 90% of global production1. Correspondingly, in Asia a similar amount of rice straw is generated, much of which is burned in the field as a waste product after harvest. The practice of in-fiel...
In the eastern rainforests of Madagascar, rainfed swidden rice cultivation remains prevalent despite efforts to encourage uptake of irrigated systems to re
dependency. Mexican agricultural institutions, including the Mexican Rice Council, are actively promoting enhanced rice production techniques. The government's supportive policies, including subsidies and import duties, are encouraging farmers to adopt improved agricultural practices, including the use of ...
OsNPF3.1, a nitrate, abscisic acid and gibberellin transporter gene, is essential for rice tillering and nitrogen utilization efficiency Junnan Hang1*, Bowen Wu1*, Diyang Qiu2, 3*, Guo Yang1, Zhongming Fang1#, Mingyong Zhang2# 1 Institute of Rice Industry Technology Research/Key ...
Here we quantify diversification effects on environmental and socio-economic aspects of global rice production. We performed a second-order meta-analysis based on 25 first-order meta-analyses covering four decades of research, showing that diversification can maintain soil fertility, nutrient cycling, ...
Since the technology is still at the stage of R&D, benefits are simulated within a scenario approach. The health effects are quantified using the methodology of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Golden Rice will not completely eliminate the problems of vitamin A deficiency, such as blindness...
The ultimate goal of breeding by design on the platform of the SSSL library is to breed new cultivars for rice production. Many of the practices of breeding by design have been conducted on this platform. As one example, a SSSL carrying the Pb gene on the substitution segment of chromosome...

Based on the concept of Green Super Rice with less inputs, more production, and a better environment, several breeding strategies for developing GSR cultivars were formulated by integrating germplasm accessions, genomic resources, and molecular technology and breeding tools (Zhang2007; Ali et al.2018...
