The genetically modified rice was grown in test plots at Louisiana State University, a statement from the university said. Bayer Cropscience USA spokesman Greg Coffey declined to say if the strain ...

Genetically engineering rice to have better salt tolerance could allow it to be grown in places it would otherwise fail, new research from the University of Sheffield has found.

The study, which took place last year, studied the extent to which a genetically modified form of rice, known as Golden Rice, can be used to combat vitamin A deficiency, which may be responsible for ...

Some rice-producing nations may drop their reluctance to use genetically modified (GM) seeds in the next few years to help offset a crisis that has forced millions to go hungry, a top expert said.

But, he added, "We were very careful all along … not to say that these lawsuits are anti-GMO (genetically-modified organisms) because many of our farmers use GM crops." ...
