Rice cultivation is responsible for around 12% of global methane emissions, and these emissions are expected to increase with global warming and as the human population continues to grow. Now, scientists have identified chemical compounds released by rice roots that determine how much methane the plants emit. They report that this information enabled them to breed a new strain of rice that emits up to 70% less methane.

Scientists have developed a new rice strain that emits 70% less methane, addressing a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. By identifying key compounds in rice root exudates, they bred a non-GMO, high-yield variety with a lower environmental impact. Field tests in China confirmed its effectiveness, and researchers are now working on getting it to [...]

Rice variant slashes planet-warming methane emissions by 70 per cent

Scientists in China experimenting with rice cultivars have been able to crossbreed a non-GMO variety that produces 70% less methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is emitted in large amounts through rice cultivation. The team is now seeking to demonstrate the importance of this new rice to the Chinese government in the hopes that it […] The post The Rice Revolution: Slashing 70% of Methane Emissions While Boosting Yields appeared first on Good Ne…

Did you know that rice paddies are responsible for 12% of global methane emissions? That’s a significant contributor to climate change, and it’s likely to increase as the world’s population grows (as long as it does). But a team of researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences has come up with a surprising solution: a special rice that dramatically reduces emissions without compromising production. What’s the story?

Sapevate che le risaie sono responsabili del 12% delle emissioni globali di metano? È un contributo significativo al cambiamento climatico, e rischia di aumentare con la crescita della popolazione mondiale (finché crescerà). Ma un team di ricercatori dell’Università Svedese di Scienze Agrarie ha trovato una soluzione sorprendente: un riso speciale che riduce drasticamente le emissioni senza compromettere la produzione. Che storia è?

A special rice is good for the planet: -70% of methane emissions

ecotopical.com

When you think of methane emissions, you mainly think of cows, but rice cultivation is also an important source. Good news then that scientists have now come up with a new type of rice that releases no less than 70 percent less methane. In total, 12 percent of global methane emissions come from rice and that percentage is likely to increase […] More science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl .

Je denkt bij de uitstoot van methaan vooral aan koeien, maar de rijstteelt is ook een belangrijke bron. Goed nieuws dus dat wetenschappers nu met een nieuwe rijstsoort komen waarbij maar liefst 70 procent minder methaan vrijkomt. In totaal is 12 procent van de wereldwijde methaanuitstoot afkomstig van rijst en dat percentage loopt waarschijnlijk op […] Meer wetenschap? Lees de nieuwste artikelen op Scientias.nl	.

Rice is a huge source of methane emissions

Rice fields are the main sources of methane discharge Thirawatana Phaisalratana/Istock Phot O/Getty Images A new type of rice created by a simple cross could reduce the discharge of methane crops, which are strong greenhouse gases, in almost three -quarters. Cultivation of rice is about 12 % of the artificial release of methane. Methane is [...] Source The post Carrarant cuts methane emissions by 70%, lowering planet-warming effects appeared fir…
