China pioneered hybrid rice, bred from two genetically distinct parents to achieve significantly higher yields. It created ...

Chinese researchers have developed a clone-hybrid rice that could potentially double global output, overcoming the cost ...

Here’s a type of fusion food you don’t see every day: fluffy, steamed grains of rice, chock-full of beef cells. It sounds Frankenstein. But the hybrid plant-animal concoction didn’t require any ...

State Key Laboratory of Hybrid Rice has the following research output in the current window (1 October 2024 - 30 September 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a list of articles ...

After more than 20 years of theorizing about it, scientists have tweaked a hybrid variety of rice so that some of the plants produce cloned seeds. No plant sex necessary. The feat, described December ...

An international team has succeeded in propagating a commercial hybrid rice strain as a clone through seeds with 95 percent efficiency. This could lower the cost of hybrid rice seed, making ...

If the image itself isn’t unappetizing enough, the description might put you off. South Korean researchers have made a hybrid rice variant, infused with cow muscle and fat cells, creating a bright ...

Hybrid rice—bred from two different parents—greatly contributes to food security. However, the process of hybrid seed production is labor intensive, and fully mechanized hybrid rice breeding is ...

"Understanding this gene gives us a powerful tool for developing climate-resilient rice varieties." Researchers make ...

a, Traditional labor-intensive (left) and the next-generation mechanized (right) production of F1 hybrid seeds are compared. In a traditional hybrid seed production process, the male sterile line ...
