China’s new hybrid rice can preserve its high-yield traits across generations, potentially allowing farmers to replant seeds instead of buying new ones every year
- China achieves 99% hybrid rice seed cloning with HUAXU gene, cuts annual seed costsChina’s new hybrid rice can preserve its high-yield traits across generations, potentially allowing farmers to replant seeds instead of buying new ones every year.
- Scientists at the China National Rice Research Institute in Hangzhou have developed a self-cloning hybrid rice system that maintains superior crop yields while achieving over 99 per cent cloning efficiency.
