Biotechnology Applications: Chinese rice scientists have developed and tested transgenic hybrid rice—with herbicide resistance and Bt for resistance to rice stem borers—for environmental evaluations. In 1999, the MOA announced the first sets of transgenic rice lines, which have the following traits:[r]

Food security is the most crucial as it hampers the development of the people as well as the nation. The global community often uses the term ―food security‖ to describe not only the availability of food, but the ability to purchase food. Worldwide, 2.5 billion people derive their livelihoods from a[r]
