Scientists in India have created a new type of rice that can thrive in salty soil, addressing the issue of farmland degradation due to rising seas, drought, and over-farming. This breakthrough involves a rare histone protein that activates the rice's salt-defense mode, potentially revolutionizing food production in areas where rice cultivation was previously impossible.
Rice can now grow in salty soil.
Addresses food security for over 1 billion people.
Potentially reverses the effects of salinization on 20% of irrigated farmland.
