BRIC-NIPGR Develops Gene-Edited Rice with Improved Phosphate Uptake and Grain Yield

Jul 15, 2025

Scientists from the BRIC-National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR) in New Delhi developed rice lines with improved phosphate uptake and grain yield, even in low phosphate soil conditions, through gene editing.

The gene-edited rice lines will decrease the need for phosphate fertilizers, lower cultivation input costs, and prevent fertilizer loss into water bodies.
