As concerns of a global hunger crises mount, IBM and researchers at the University of Washington today launched a new program to develop stronger strains of rice that could produce crops with larger and more nutritious yields.

Hye !

Thanks to present the huge power of World Community Grid.

According this
video, there is no information about the biologic application of the rice
researchs. This lake of information increase the doubt to make grow directly the
best rice species unless searching the compatibility of the grains in natural
environment.
Will the searched rice be a Geneticly Modified Organism ? I think
The answer of GMO question must be published compare to the introduction of such
rice grain in yield and potential fecondation with some other natural rice
species.
Is the consequence of such rice hybrid included in scientist work ?
Thanks for your future answer.

Ecosmose.

SETI@home

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). One approach, known as radio SETI, uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
