Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world's population, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Research on this important crop includes: 
-Nutritional Improvement like Golden Rice with increased vitamin A.
-Investigation of rice climate change adaptation by development of varieties which are more tolerant to drought, salinity, and temperature extremes as well as flooding.
-Pest and disease, which will help to reduce use of chemicals and lead to more sustainable agriculture.
-Understanding of genetic diversity and preservation of wild rice species, which are valuable genetic resources for future breeding programs.
