The INTA took a strategic leap in the genetic improvement of rice by achieving in vitro plant regeneration of the Gurí INTA CL variety, one of the most used in national and international production systems. The advance, led by the Institute of Genetics Ewald A. Favret (IGEAF) of INTA, opens the door to the design of gene editing protocols applied directly to elite cultivars, with potential impact on productivity, health and grain quality.
The genetic improvement of rice in Argentina took a strategic step with an achievement that promises a direct impact on productive systems. A team from the Institute of Genetics Ewald A. Favret (IGEAF) of INTA managed to regenerate plants in vitro from leading commercial varieties, such as Guri INTA CL, a fundamental advance to apply gene editing directly on cultivars of high agronomic value. This is a milestone that positions the national rice …
