Genome editing in rice: toward climate-resilient, nutrient-rich yields

Rice is the main source of calories for more than half of the world’s population, so yields must increase to feed an estimated 5 billion people by 2050, despite the effects of resource depletion and climate change (Huang et al., 2026).

Why does chalkiness (white spots) occur in rice kernels?
Under normal conditions, starch granules are very dense and well-arranged. However, when these starch granules are irregularly shaped and loosely packed with one another, some empty spaces or air gaps remain between them.
Due to this loose structure, when light falls on the rice kernel, it does not reflect properly but instead gets refracted or scattered. As a result, that specific part of the kernel appears chalky or bright white instead of translucent.

Strategies for achieving healthy, sustainable, and equitable dietary transitions

Our current food systems are major sources of pollution, greenhouse gases, and land-use change while also struggling to provide adequate nutrition equitably to more than 8 billion people. As development and incomes increase, people are shifting their diets toward more meat and processed foods, with negative effects on both human health and the environment.

"After successfully lifting off yesterday at 6:35 p.m. ET, NASA's Artemis II mission is on its way to the Moon, the first time humans have ventured toward our cosmic companion since 1972.

Artemis II will provide a key test of how the human body responds to deep space radiation—the top health concern for humans living beyond Earth for extended periods."
