💨 Abstract

The Agriculture Minister of India, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, revealed two new genome-edited rice varieties, 'DRR Dhan 100 (Kamala)' and 'Pusa DST Rice 1', developed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). These varieties, designed to combat climate change, have the potential to increase rice yields by up to 30%, conserve water, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
