70% reduction of methane emissions from paddy rice by blocking root exudation of fumarate. Field-tested over 3 seasons with yield-stable results. Maintains 8.96t/ha yields. www.cell.com/molecular-pl...

Reducing methane emissions by developing low-fumarate high-ethanol eco-friendly rice

Root exudates regulate methane emissions in rice paddies, with fumarate and ethanol discovered as two main compounds regulating methane emissions. Employing this finding for breeding resulted in novel...
