Rice biofortification breakthrough: Fighting global zinc deficiency with gene technology!
Rice doesn't have enough zinc for our bodies, and climate change is making it worse. Scientists are working on making rice with more zinc to help people who don't get enough. They are using tools like gene guns and advanced technology to make rice with more zinc. The main problem is that rice doesn't take up enough zinc from the soil. They are studying how genes, environment, and physiology affect zinc in rice. They are also looking at different types of rice to find ways to make them better at storing zinc.
