Bacterial blight and other rice diseases devastate yields for small-scale rice producers in Africa and Asia, contributing to world hunger.
Healthy Crops is an international research project developing disease-resistant rice varieties and a diagnostic toolbox that can be introgressed with local elite lines to raise yields for smallholder farmers.
The consortium has already generated bacterial-blight-resistant rice lines and a rapid diagnostic toolbox published in Nature Biotechnology (2019), identified a blight outbreak in Tanzania, and modified an African rice variety to resist the pathogen.
