NIPGR’s gene-edited japonica rice shows increased phosphate uptake, 20% more yield
The gene-edited lines were channelising the extra phosphate absorbed by the roots to produce more seeds by increasing the number of panicles — the fruiting body which bears seeds — leading to an increase in yield by 20%. The researchers analysed the seed size, seed dimension, seed length, starch and phosphate content, and found the seed dimension or seed quality to be normal
