   "Chinese and Swedish researchers have developed a high-yield #rice variety that emits up to 70 per cent less #methane than normal rice after uncovering how chemicals released by rice roots influence emissions.

   The scientists said their new low-methane hybrid rice offered a promising strategy to address a future rise in rice-related emissions because of global warming and an increasing global population."

     @CelloMomOnCars I was intrigued by the involvement of the Swedish researchers (as its not a country I would associate with rice-growing!), but it also appears that they are indeed trying to grow rice in Sweden (its very likely this research is linked to the project reported in SCMP) #rice #Sweden #China
