A NEW mutant strain of rice, 11NB10 with enhanced root system, has been developed through a collaborative effort among the Philippine Rice Research Center (PhilRice) and Crop Biotechnology Center under the Department of Agriculture, Central Luzon State University, and Nagoya University in Japan.
"The 11NB10 mutant's efficient root system and carbohydrate allocation represent a significant step in our understanding of rice resilience," said Dr. Nonawin Agustin, project lead.
