New Delhi, May 12 -- Earlier this month, India released the world's first genome-edited rice, a breakthrough that promises to retune its farm R&D space. The new varieties yield more using less water and are resilient to climate shocks. Mint explains why you must hold your plate and take note. These were released on 4 May by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), which used genome editing (GE) to improve two rice cultivars-Samba Mahsuri and MTU1010. The project began in 2018.
