Gene switch could boost heat tolerant rice yields
A Chinese team reports identifying a temperature sensitive rice gene that reduces yield and causes chalky grains when overheated. By silencing or breeding variants that resist heat, they produced more and better grains without sacrificing normal performance, suggesting a path to high yield and quality amid rising temperatures. Researchers note field realism and applicability to Indica and Japonica varieties, with calls for further validation.
