Transgenic Cereals: Oryza sativa (rice)

  • Chapter
Book cover Molecular improvement of cereal crops

Part of the book series: Advances in Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants ((CMBP,volume 5))

Abstract

Rice is one of the most important food crops of the world, feeding nearly 3 billion people. In order to meet the needs of the population expected around the year 2020, it is estimated that 70% more rice will need to be produced on less land and water with a smaller agricultural workforce. The rice genome is as dynamic as of other crop plants, but needs to be more amenable to the addition of new genes for further improvement of quantitative and qualitative traits. Genetic engineering is a novel method of plant breeding which is expected to play an important role in rice improvement. Several agronomic traits that could not be manipulated by conventional breeding have been incorporated into rice by gene technology, such as resistance to pests, sheath blight, bacterial blight and tolerance to abiotic stress. Field evaluation of rice transformed with a herbicide resistance gene showed excellent results. Large-scale cultivation of transgenic rice is expected soon.
