Rice is the staple food of half of the world's population. Disease damage to rice can greatly reduce the yield, and planting a resistant rice variety is the simplest and most cost effective management for diseases. A new study has revealed that gene transfer from a completely different plant species can significantly boost the built-in immunity of rice plants which may help increase the health and productivity of rice.

Rice Acquires Stronger Immunity Through Gene Transfer from Dicotyledonous Plants
Rice is the staple food of half of the world's population. Disease damage to rice can greatly reduce the yield, and planting a resistant rice variety is the simplest and most cost effective management for diseases. A new study has revealed that gene transfer from a completely different plant species can significantly boost the built-in immunity of rice plants which may help increase the health and productivity of rice.
