Spike Gene Discovered by Japan and International Rice Research Institute

Japan and the International Rice Research Institute researchers discovered of a gene called "Spike".

Japan and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) researchers "Spike" the discovery of the gene. Indica Basmati rice varieties, including the gene (paddy) production increases from 13 to 36 percent. "Spike" gene discovery information given on December 2, 2013.

Primary investigation and the International Rice Research Institute in Japan (IRRI), the researchers found that 'spike' modern long grain rice containing genes (paddy) yield can be increased to 36 percent.

Japan Institute of Crop Sciences - National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (National Agriculture and Food Research Organization) rice breeder Dr. Nobuya Kobayashi said the Indonesian tropical japonica rice variety that we spike gene is found in.

Breeding of rice researchers in the 'spike' use south and south-east Asia indica-growing areas could contribute to food security.
