Title: Partnership opens new chapter in gene discovery.
IRRI entered into a landmark research and capacity-building agreement with Japan's NIAS, paving the way for the next stage of discovery revealing the genetic makeup of rice. The partnership promises to unlock the secrets of functionality in the recently sequenced genome of the world's main food grain, determining which genes strengthen plants against drought, problem soils, diseases and pests - and to do so for the benefit of poor rice farmers and consumers.
