Paleo-Green Revolution for rice.
A central element of the Green Revolution was the widespread adoption of semidwarf rice cultivars (SRCs) that more than doubled worldwide rice production (1). The high-yield potentials of modern SRCs are attributed primarily to their improved harvest index, lodging resistance, and responsiveness to high inputs (primarily nitrogen and water) (1–3), contributing to their adoption in irrigated are...
متن کاملThe Doubly Green Revolution in Rice
It is indeed a pleasure to be at this World Food Prize celebration here in Des Moines to participate in honoring this year’s co-laureates, Dr. Monty Jones and Prof. Yuan Longping, two giants in rice research. How appropriate it is that we honor them this year—2004, the International Year of Rice. In Africa and Asia, respectively, they have both made remarkable contributions toward the eradicati...
متن کاملGenealogy of the "Green Revolution" gene in rice.
During the "Green Revolution" of rice, high-yielding varieties (HYVs) were developed using a semi-dwarf gene (sd1 or OsGA20ox2). The presence or absence of the two mutant alleles (DGWG type in Dee-geo-woo-gen and JKK type in Jikkoku) were surveyed by PCR using 256 accessions of eight wild and two cultivate rice species. The DGWG allele was detected in a landrace (Oryza sativa) and two accession...
متن کاملTURNER REVIEW No. 14 Roots of the Second Green Revolution
The Green Revolution boosted crop yields in developing nations by introducing dwarf genotypes of wheat and rice capable of responding to fertilisation without lodging. We now need a second Green Revolution, to improve the yield of crops grown in infertile soils by farmers with little access to fertiliser, who represent the majority of thirdworld farmers. Just as the Green Revolution was based o...
متن کاملThe second green revolution? Production of plant-based biodegradable plastics.
Biodegradable plastics are those that can be completely degraded in landfills, composters or sewage treatment plants by the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms. Truly biodegradable plastics leave no toxic, visible or distinguishable residues following degradation. Their biodegradability contrasts sharply with most petroleum-based plastics, which are essentially indestructible in a bio...
