...Because rice is genetically similar to other cereal crops, such as wheat and barley, the research could be applied much more broadly."Once you have it in one, you can begin to look for the same gene sequences in other crop plants," said Richard Triemer, chairman of the MSU Plant Biology Department."It has implications well beyond rice, though rice alone is enough.

The team has been working on the project for five years.

Discovery: Changbao Li reads genetic markers of rice samples recently at Michigan State University.

Li is part of the research team that has discovered how to enhance rice harvesting.
