Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic and carcinogenic heavy metal, and rice, as a staple food, is a major source of dietary Cd intake. Therefore, limiting the transfer of Cd from soil to rice grain without compromising grain yield is a critical issue for human health. In this study, through base-editing-mediated mutagenesis screening targeting OsNramp5, a major transporter gene for manganese (Mn) and Cd uptake, we identified a single amino acid substitution at position 441 (Ile to Thr) that significantly reduced Cd accumulation in both shoots and grains without affecting the accumulation of other essential metals

A coalition of 30 European agri-food value chain organizations welcomed the formal adoption of the European Union regulation on plants obtained through New Genomic Techniques (NGTs). The decision marks a major milestone for the continent's agricultural and food systems, concluding over eight years of intensive negotiations and complex scientific and political discussions between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, and the European Commission.
