ARTICLE #4 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rice that Snaps, Crackles and Pops with Protein
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

Scientists in the United States and India are reporting development of a high-protein variety of rice, dietary staple for half the worlds population. The study is scheduled for the Jan. 23 issue of ACS Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a biweekly publication.

Researchers have been trying to bolster the protein in rice for five decades. Rice already is a main source of calories as well as protein intake for billions of people, and its enrichment of protein would have a positive impact on millions of poor and malnourished people in developing countries, the report says.

In the study, Hari B. Krishnan and colleagues created a hybrid by crossing a commonly cultivated rice species called Oryza sativa with a wild species, Oryza nivara. The product showed a protein content of 12.4 percent, which is 18 percent and 28 percent higher than those of the parents. The results demonstrate the potential for wild rices relatives for boost
