Yunnan Academy of Agriculture Sciences and partners released a review article on rice breeding, highlighting the urgent need to use modern tools to combat the climate crisis. The article is published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems. Their review is summarized in these key points: Extreme temperatures severely disrupt rice physiology, leading to reduced growth, lower yields, and poorer grain quality, which directly threatens global food security. The rice germplasm contains a wealth of valuable alleles that are essential for breeding temperature-resilient varieties.
