flag New rice strain cuts methane emissions by up to 70%, aiding in climate change mitigation.

flag Scientists have developed a new rice strain that emits up to 70% less methane than traditional varieties, potentially cutting global methane emissions significantly. flag Rice farming contributes about 12% of global methane emissions. flag Researchers crossbred high-yield rice with low-emitting varieties, identifying key chemical compounds in rice roots that affect methane release. flag This new "low fumarate and high ethanol" (LFHE) rice not only reduces emissions but also maintains high yields, averaging 8.96 tons per hectare. flag The development aims to combat increasing methane emissions due to climate change and population growth.
