'Land grabs' for rice production due to supply threats
Recent interest in "land grabs" or the international acquisition of land to produce rice is sparked by a looming threat of inadequate rice supplies. view more (2009-09-28)
Research finds way to double rice crops in drought-stricken areas
University of Alberta research has yielded a way to double the output of rice crops in some of the world's poorest, most distressed areas. view more (2008-11-21)
University of Leicester research reveals rice bran could reduce risk of intestinal cancer
A study by biomedical scientists at the University of Leicester has revealed for the first time that rice bran could reduce the risk of intestinal cancer. view more (2007-03-27)
Climate change threatens rice production
Once-in-a-lifetime floods in the Philippines, India's delayed monsoon, and extensive drought in Australia are taking their toll on this year's rice crops, demonstrating the vulnerability of rice to extreme weather. view more (2009-10-16)
The secret ingredients behind germinated rice
A team of researchers has identified the active compounds that contribute to the health benefits of pre-germinated brown rice; the healthy components are a related set of sterol-like molecules known as acylated steryl-beta-glucosides (ASGs). view more (2008-09-23)
Golden rice an effective source of vitamin A
The beta-carotene in so-called "Golden Rice" converts to vitamin A in humans, according to researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (www.bcm.edu) and Tufts University in an article that appears in the current issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. view more (2009-05-14)
New tool probes function of rice genes
A new tool for investigating the rice genome has been developed by researchers at UC Davis led by Pamela Ronald, professor of plant pathology. view more (2008-10-09)
Gene's past could improve the future of rice
In an effort to improve rice varieties, a Purdue University researcher was part of a team that traced the evolutionary history of domesticated rice by using a process that focuses on one gene. view more (2009-01-26)
New public-private hybrid rice group aims to raise rice yields in the tropics
A new international research initiative, linking the private and public sectors for the first time and launched on November 9 at the 2007 Asian Seed Congress, aims to boost the research and development of hybrid rice for the tropics. view more (2007-11-12)
Important rice production system under pressure
In the face of growing pressure on one of Asia's most important food production systems, experts are warning that farmers must get more help to make them more efficient. view more (2007-10-10)
Scientists identify gene that may contribute to improved rice yield
A team of scientists, including Penn State Distinguished Professor of Biology Hong Ma, has identified a gene in rice that controls the size and weight of rice grains. view more (2008-09-29)
New collaboration on rice DNA variation study
Perlegen Sciences, Inc., and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) announced today that they will collaborate to identify DNA variation in fifteen rice strains. view more (2005-11-17)
ROYAL SOCIETY MEDAL FOR REVOLUTIONARY GENETIC RESEARCH AT THE JOHN INNES CENTRE
The research group headed by Professor Gale and Dr Moore was the first to produce a map which described in detail the organisation of the genetic information in wheat. They were surprised to find that modern-day bread-wheat and its ancient ancestors, although separated by about a million years of evolution, had remained almost identical in terms... view more...

Researchers develop flood-tolerant California rice
Rice grown anywhere in the world soon could be made completely flood-tolerant because of new research by UC Riverside geneticists, done in collaboration with scientists at UC Davis and the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. view more (2006-08-23)
200,000 rice mutants available worldwide for scientific investigation
Scientists across the world are building an extensive repository of genetically modified rice plants in the hope of understanding the function of the approximately 57,000 genes that make up the genome of Oryza sativa. view more (2009-03-05)
New knowledge improves rice quality
A major international initiative is being launched to try to boost the income of the world's millions of poor rice farmers and at the same time provide consumers with more nutritious, better tasting food. view more (2007-05-08)
New flood-tolerant rice offers relief for world's poorest farmers
A gene that enables rice to survive complete submergence has been identified by a team of researchers at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and at the University of California's Davis and Riverside campuses. view more (2006-08-10)
Balancing male fertility and disease resistance
An international collaboration of researchers, headed by Dr. Shiping Wang (Huazhong Agricultural University, China) has discovered that a single gene in rice regulates both male fertility and pathogen resistance, providing an unexpected genetic link between reproductive success and the disease resistance. view more (2006-05-08)
Researchers examine bacterial rice diseases, search for genetic solutions
As a major food source for much of the world, rice is one of the most important plants on earth. view more (2009-04-02)
Biologists develop large gene dataset for rice plant
Scientists have reported development of a large dataset of gene sequences in rice. The information will lead to an increased understanding of how genes work in rice, an essential food for much of the world's population. view more (2007-03-14)
