As a staple food for half the world’s population, rice is an important dietary source of magnesium (Mg), an essential mineral for human health. Enhanced Mg accumulation in rice grains has also been linked to eating quality. However, the mechanisms underlying Mg transport to the grains remains poorly understood. Here, we report that OsMGR2, a member belonging to Magnesium Release (MGR) family, is required for Mg accumulation in rice grains. OsMGR2 encodes a plasma membrane-localized transporter that mediates Mg efflux.

According to the latest United Nations (UN) report, The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI 2025), global hunger has declined slightly to approximately 673 million people, or 8.2% of the population, in 2024. This marks a decrease from 8.5% in 2023, yet progress remains uneven as hunger continues to surge across Africa and Western Asia due to conflict and high food inflation.

A study published in the Asian Journal of Research in Biosciences highlights the potential of genetically modified (GM) crops to address hunger and malnutrition in India, while also identifying key barriers to public acceptance. The study examined how GM crops, such as Golden Rice and GM mustard, could improve food security by enhancing nutritional value and increasing yields amid climate challenges.
