3,000 RICE GENOME SEQUENCES MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON WORLD HUNGER DAY

The open-access, open-data journal GigaScience (published by BGI and Biomed Central), announces today (28 May) the publication of an article on the genome sequencing of 3000 rice strains along with the release of this entire dataset in a citable format in journal’s affiliated open-access database, GigaDB. The publication and release of this enormous data set (which

NO-TILL AGRICULTURE MAY NOT BRING HOPED-FOR BOOST IN GLOBAL CROP YIELDS, STUDY FINDS

No-till farming, a key conservation agriculture strategy that avoids conventional plowing and otherwise disturbing the soil, may not bring a hoped-for boost in crop yields in much of the world, according to an extensive new meta-analysis by an international team led by the University of California, Davis. As the core

SINGLE GENE DRAMATICALLY BOOSTS YIELD, SWEETNESS IN TOMATO HYBRIDS

Giving tomato breeders and ketchup fans something to cheer about, a Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) scientist and his colleagues at the Hebrew University in Israel have identified a gene that pushes hybrid tomato plants to spectacularly increase yield. The yield-boosting power of this gene, which controls when plants make

RICE BREEDING CREATES BILLION-DOLLAR IMPACT
RICE BREEDING CREATES BILLION-DOLLAR IMPACT

Improved rice from IRRI’s breeding work has given farmers in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia an additional US$1.46 billion worth of rice every year from 1985-2009, an independent study by the Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) finds. In the years that followed the release of IR8 , or “miracle rice”, improving rice is not
