UK, IRRI, BMGF Allot $14M for Further Research on C4 Rice
Crop Biotech Update The government of the United Kingdom, the
International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation (BMGF) have put $14 million to further support the C4
Rice project in the next three years. The IRRI-led project aims to
develop C4 Rice, a rice
variety with a built-in fuel injector to better convert sunlight into
grain, potentially resulting in up to 50% higher production, while using
less water and nutrients. C4 rice, if successfully developed, has the
potential to produce 50% more grain with less water and nutrients which
would contribute to future food security.
The researchers have
already identified crucial genes needed to assemble C4 photosynthesis in
rice, defined the basic elements required for functional C4
photosynthesis, and successfully introduced 10 out of the 13 genes
needed for C4 rice. For the second phase of the project, the team aims
to produce C4 rice prototypes for testing.
