A team of scientists in China and the UK have discovered a potential breakthrough that could reduce rice farmers’ dependence on chemical fertilizers to sustain crop yields for the world’s most-eaten ...
Bangladesh is now the world’s third-largest rice producer, with output rising from 10.9 million metric tons in 1971 to 42.0 million metric tons in 2022. Despite the abundance of the staple crop, ...
Severe flooding has slashed global rice yields in recent decades, threatening food security for billions of people who depend on the grain. The losses amounted to approximately 4.3%, or 18 million ...
Researchers from the University of Oxford, Nanjing Agricultural University, and Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (Chinese Academy of Sciences) have finally identified the master ...
The team, led by Chengbo Shen, Zhe Ji, and Shan Li, identified a rice gene that helps the rice plant keep its balance when nitrogen is scarce ...

Fall rainstorms dampened many rice farmers’ expectations of a good crop this past fall by delaying harvest, reducing grain quality and increasing ruts in fields. While final yield figures haven’t yet ...
Two new Research projects are advancing rice breeding strategies to improve productivity for growers while creating new ...
Rice, a staple for billions, is one of the most resource-hungry crops on the planet—but scientists may have found a way to change that. By applying nanoscale selenium directly to rice plants, ...
