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.
